Conjoint: BA/BGlobalSt module in Modern Language: French 1

You’ll learn in small, friendly, fun classes where students are encouraged to use the language in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Your language learning journey will be supported by state-of-the-art multimedia teaching materials and passionate teachers who use a mix of the most up-to-date in-class and digital teaching methods.
Finally, you can take advantage of exciting study abroad and exchange opportunities to complete part of your language module in a country where your language is commonly spoken.

In an increasingly globalised world, knowledge of a language and culture on top of your own is a considerable advantage, broadening your horizons and deepening your cultural awareness. Language competency helps you engage as a more capable, sensitive and sophisticated global citizen.

Giving you written and spoken competencies that will enable you to communicate in another language, this module is also an invaluable way of increasing your brain power. Research shows that additional language learning has numerous cognitive benefits, including better memory, concentration, stronger communication skills, and overall academic performance. You can also use language study to enrich your study of other subjects.

In today’s global marketplace, many employers value staff with skills in more than one language. Knowledge of an additional language can help you stand out from other graduates and take your skills worldwide.
You could bring your new language skills, global awareness and cultural literacy to many professional roles. Potential career paths include international and export business, diplomacy, tourism, teaching (in Aotearoa New Zealand and abroad), government and international agencies & socio-entrepreneurship, and non-profit organisations.
Whatever your chosen pathway, your language study will enrich your journey via enhanced intercultural understanding, flexibility, disciplined thinking and communication skills.

You must complete three of the courses listed for your chosen module (45 points), including at least one course (15 points) at Stage II.
Each course is worth 15 points. Before you can enrol in a Stage II course you need to have passed the prerequisite courses for enrolment in that course.
