This course aims at developing ease and fluidity of oral communication in French. With the support of three contemporary Francophone plays, students will discover the diversity of the French languages by working on pronunciation, quality of their voice, gesture and breathing.

The course will be articulated in a dynamic, participative and creative way around three axes:

1) Dramaturgical approach of the plays: reading, discussion, analysis;

2) Exercises stemming from the theatrical pedagogy to improve the qualities of articulation, pronunciation, memorization, verbal ease and public speaking;

3) Staging extracts of the studied plays, which will close the course.

This year, we will work on the theme of the “exile”. To be in exile of a country and/or of yourself…
