French
undergraduates
Our Fellow in French, Professor Wes Williams, coordinates a team of academics who have expertise in the teaching of both language and literature. We actively encourage students to explore the creative potential of the Modern Languages course, and Teddy Hall offers many extra-curricular opportunities in creative writing and the arts. Wes is also a director and playwright alongside his academic work.
Our native speaker, Marie Leger, teaches translation and grammar to our undergraduates throughout their course.
The work is demanding and time-consuming but the tutors are very understanding here and if you have any difficulties they are always willing to help. Tutors treat you like adults, which makes the learning process more enjoyable.
