Program Overview

The Department of French Letters and Language, affiliated with the Faculty of Letters and Languages at Constantine University 1, offers an academic master's program designed to introduce students to French language and literature, while progressively preparing them for professional life. This program extends over four (04) semesters and is organized into several Teaching Units (TU):

  • Fundamental Teaching Units
  • Methodological Teaching Units
  • Discovery Teaching Units
  • Transversal Teaching Units

Training Objectives

The objective of this program stems from the same concerns that shaped the LMD bachelor's program at the department, which, if summarized, would revolve around the word "deficit." In addition to addressing the shortcomings of the bachelor's program (where overcrowding has severely hampered performance that could have been better), it will continue the initiative begun in the bachelor's program, that is, to train teachers and researchers who, after basic training covering various aspects related to the functioning and use of the French language, its structuring implementation in its socio-economic-cultural environment, both synchronically and diachronically, would specialize in its literary aspect with its critical corollary.

 

Targeted Profiles and Skills

This master's program aims to specialize our students in the sublimated aspect of this language, which is its aesthetic aspect: Literary creation, comparatism, written or spoken literatures in this language, and the various processes, schools, theories, approaches, techniques... that have been or are implemented to decrypt what it is supposed to convey and whose importance is, strictly speaking, of anthropological vitality: Meaning.
