About the Course

Ce cours de français de niveau intermédiaire B1/B2, conforme aux exigences du Cadre européen de Référence pour les Langues, s’inscrit dans le double dispositif “former avec le numérique”et “langue et interculturalité” mis en place par l’Université Paris Saclay. Il s’adresse à tous les étudiants souhaitant poursuivre leurs études supérieures en France. Il leur permettra non seulement d’avoir le niveau requis en français pour suivre des cours dans le système supérieur français en termes de compétences linguistiques, mais les aidera à s’adapter à leur nouvel environnement dans les meilleures conditions. Ce cours propose en effet une immersion dans l’univers étudiant à travers des vidéos de cours, des textes de multiples formats, de courts extraits de films et de vidéos authentiques qui donnent la parole à des étudiants français ou étrangers vivant en France. Les étudiants pourront ainsi travailler toutes les compétences (compréhension orale et écrite, expression orale et écrite, grammaire et vocabulaire), puis tester ensuite leurs acquis grâce aux nombreux quiz proposés et, chaque semaine, ils auront aussi la possibilité de participer aux débats et aux discussions organisés sur le forum. Découvrir la vie en France et dans le monde francophone à travers ses cultures, ses littératures, ses films, ses journaux télévisés et sa langue (standard et plus familière) et comprendre le système d’enseignement supérieur français (assister à un cours magistral, comprendre le fonctionnement de l’évaluation …) : voici quelques-uns des enjeux de ce cours. Ses objectifs sont donc langagiers, mais aussi culturels et pratiques ! Note importante: ce Mooc ne remplace pas la passation de tests attestant du niveau B1 ou B2 tels que ceux proposés par le Ciep: TCF, Delf ou Dalf. Ce cours a été financé grâce au soutien de l’Université Paris-Saclay et celui de la fondation Patrick et Lina Drahi. « l’Ecole polytechnique vous concède une licence personnelle, non exclusive et non transférable vous permettant d’accéder et d’utiliser les contenus diffusés sur le site Coursera.

Great help in continuing my education on the French language. It's also very useful in learning how to navigate some of the things you may encounter as a foreign student arriving in France. :)

Un cours intéressant et soigneusement planifié dont j'ai profité énormément. J'éprouve un véritable désir d'aller en France pour explorer les repas gastronomiques. J'ai bien aimé les informations relatives à la pronunciation, la grammaire et la culture en France. L'enseignement par les trois professeurs était passionannt.

Un grand "merci"!

Me ha encantado hacerlo. Después de vivir en Francia 8 años olvidas la gramática y me ha ayudado mucho a ponerme al día. Lo recomiendo un cien por cien.

Halfway through, I'm finding that the actual lessons are a bit lacking. There is a VERY brief overview of what you should be learning in the section, but it's way too quick to learn the idea, if you haven't learned it before. If it's something you're already familiar with, it's a good review/overview, but it's just not enough to learn the idea from scratch. Then you suffer through quizzes, trying to learn from your wrong answers with little feedback (which is frustrating and de-motivating) or you search online for other material to learn from, which defeats the purpose, in my opinion.

The course is well structured and well prepared, but it's not a B1/B2 level. Maybe you can say it's a B1, but for sure not B2.

You can't hear the speaker because of all the background noise from the cars and stuff. This is not what I expected. I am using Pimsleur method at the moment and am at the intermediate level. I was expecting this to flow similar to that where they teach you phrases and expressions, not just straight listening. I might try this again next year.

This course was exactly what I needed to push me further forward after a fairly monotonous start on Duolingo. It challenged me to far more complex language, faster speaking, and helped me level up to an intermediate level. It also offered some great resources for continuing learning like the TV5 Monde resource. I personally recommend Tandem to those who don't live in a French speaking place currently but need to practice their written and verbal expression. Thank you for a wonderful course. Peace!

Overall, I like the course. It was just challenging enough, but doable, for me. The presentations are appropriate length and teachers speak clearly and concisely. I like the quizzes although some of the questions are not clear enough.

What I did not like is running into some technical issues. A few times I would complete an assignment but could not move on because the next step was locked and it kept asking me to go back and finish the assignment I already completed.

Also, I moved forward carefully, step by step, to ensure I miss nothing. But when i check the course overview, I would find that I was missing some parts, i.e. the green circles were not full, and so I would have to go back and find the part I missed. This should not be happening.

It's very helpful and most of the videos and instructions are interesting. I especially like the excerpts from books, movies and articles used in the course. Some parts of the course, however, are too technical and hard to understand in a short time. It would be great if there are notes summarizing the grammar contents with various examples. Overall, I enjoyed the course. Thank you very much indeed.

Whilst was very interesting and informative, there was far too much work attached to it. We’re talking 8hour sessions at a time which is so hard to balance considering I had other work to do. (That’s not the issue of coursera but mine, I’m just saying there could be far less materials). The grammar explanations were vague for me and didn’t aide with the quizzes very well which was frustrating and made me look worse than I feel I am. However, the professors are very passionate and I am proud to have done this course in its completion. It is probably more suitable for adults, as am only 16 and had to balance it with other work. I do recommend but it is very difficult in my opinion.
