Pourquoi étudier le français ?
Le français se parle dans quarante trois pays et sur cinq continents ; c'est la langue des écrivains, des artistes, des philosophes, des cinéastes, des scientifiques, des architectes et des "designers". A Paris, à Dakar, à Montréal et en Martinique, le français est le vecteur d'une pensée créative et originale qui interroge les limites de l'identité et de la différence, de l'autorité et de la résistance, de la loi et du commerce, de la beauté et du plaisir.
