9. HOW THE EXAM HAS
CHANGED
Students will work with a greater variety of authentic materials, both print and
audio, reflecting the linguistic and cultural diversity of the French-speaking
world.
Literary and journalistic texts but also announcements, advertisements, letters, maps
and tables.
Scripted dialogues but also radio interviews, podcasts, public service announcements,
brief presentations.
Criteria for selection are comprehensibility (accent, pace, minimal background
noise/overlap) and relevance to a course theme and to a topic that could interest
students.
Materials will be reasonably chosen, but will also reflect a range of cultural
perspectives and linguistic features.
