About this subject
On successful completion you will be able to:
- Analyse and apply familiar French expressions to construct contextually appropriate responses in concrete situations, demonstrating critical awareness of cultural norms.

This subject is entirely synchronous; it consolidates and builds upon the knowledge acquired in French 1. It develops the four primary skills of language acquisition – speaking, listening, reading and writing – through a communicative approach to learning. You will discover various aspects of everyday life in France, introduced through imaginative dialogues and reinforced by extensive exercises on French vocabulary, grammar and civilisation. Culture is embedded throughout language, so learning another language develops your intercultural communication skills, preparing you to be responsive and agile in varied situations. Upon successful completion of this subject, you will have attained the equivalent of an A1 or "breakthrough" level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL).

Single subject FAQs
What’s a single subject?
Single subjects are the individual components that make up a degree. With Open Universities Australia, you’re able to study many of them as stand-alone subjects, including postgraduate single subjects, without having to commit to a degree.
Each of your subjects will be held over the course of a study term, and they’ll usually require 10 to 12 hours of study each week. Subjects are identified by a title and a code, for example, Developmental Psychology, PSY20007.
How can I use single subjects to get into a full degree?
First, find the degree that you would like to study on our website.
If that degree allows entry via undergraduate subjects, there will be information about this under the Entry Requirements section. You will find a list of 2-4 open enrolment subjects you need to successfully complete to qualify for admission into that qualification.
Once you pass those subjects, you will satisfy the academic requirements for the degree, and you can apply for entry.
Our student advisors are here to help you take that next step, so don’t hesitate to reach out when you’re ready! We’ve also made it easier to figure out the right way to get started on our pathways page.
