Teaching methods
The course is primarily predicated on class attendance, and relies on active participation on the students' part before, during and after the class sessions. All communication takes place in the target language. English is used in as practical a way as possible, through debates, discussions, presentations, etc., whose goal is to not only broaden the students' vocabulary range and improve their command of grammar and pronunciation, but also to improve thei self-confidence and ease when speaking English.
The students adopt a reflexive and proactive attitude towards their own learning process. In addition to the course notes and their active participation in both the online and in-class activities, they are expected to keep track of their process in a structured file (English Bucket List project) which records their objectives, output, action points and progress. The documents and templates necessary for this project are available in the course notes and online.

For the "Continuous assessment and end-of-year oral exam" part, a substantial assignment with various tasks will be given to the students. This assignment will need to be handed in on the first day of the August/September exam session, and will be the subject of an oral exam.
Students who fail for the June session are responsible for getting in touch with their teacher within 5 business days after the official communicaiton of the exam results (proclamation) to know which part(s) of the assessment they need to take again.
The weighting of the final September mark is the same as in June.
