This 30-credit certificate examines French as a system of communication through a scientific lens. The single required course, Langue, culture et societe, introduces students to language and society; optional courses drawn from three blocks let students concentrate on the structural description of language (grammar, phonetics, lexicology, dictionaries), the social dimensions of language (sociolinguistics, language variation, language planning, Quebec French), or related fields such as translation, documentation, and English linguistics. The program develops general knowledge of French as a communication system, understanding of its main components (vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, spelling), and critical reflection on the social, cultural, and identity issues tied to language use in the Quebec context. It is intended for students preparing for language-related professions such as translation, writing, editing, or language teaching, or for the production of linguistic reference works such as dictionaries and grammars. The certificate is offered part-time only, with admission in the fall, winter, and summer terms, at the Sherbrooke campus.
