Class Objectives
/Class Outline The objective is to train students in research in French language and literature. The course curriculum is tailored to the students' needs and is determined with them.
In particular, this course provides a solid grounding in the methodology of literary research (formulating a hypothesis, drawing up a problem statement, compiling a primary and secondary bibliography, introduction to literary research, literary theory, literary history, cultural and intercultural studies, etc.).
The course is therefore both general and specific, as it is aimed at students who want to work on a specific research project.

Lessons 1 to 5: basic reading, introduction to research methods, drawing up a research plan. Review of the literature.
