French term or phrase: expression française écrite
The title of a course.

"Le module permet de comprendre le vocabulaire propre à l'écrit et à l'oral professionnel.Il permet d'acquérir un esprit d'analyse et de synthèse indispensable aux futurs responsables.
Objectifs pédagogiques
A la fin de ce cours l'étudiant sera capable de :
• appliquer les bonnes règles d'orthographe et de grammaire
• prendre progressivement les notes
• exposer à l'oral une question simple
• comprendre progressivement la presse écrite et orale"

Could this be translated simply as "Written French" (notwithstanding that a large part of the course appears to be oral!)?

Expression in the French press / media


Explanation:
This is a very free translation, influenced by the course description given. I agree that it seems odd to call it 'Written French' when there is such an emphasis on oral resources in the description.
