Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| The minimum level of English to be achieved at the end of the year is B1+ as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The courses as well as the work to be done at home by the student are an integral part of the mastery of the language at the level of lexicon and grammatical structures. In addition, they prepare students for the second year specialized language course. At the end of the course, the student should be able to grasp the general meaning of authentic texts and make a structured synthesis of them, while being able to explain passages dealing with important data. A dispensatory exam will be organized remotely via the ELAO platform in September; students who obtain a sufficiently high score on the written test will then have to take an individual oral exam, either in person or on Teams. This test will confirm (or not) the student's level of English and will allow the student to be exempted (or not). Details of how to register for the exemption test will be published on the valves and in the document “ La semaine de rentrée”. |

Content
As the course is primarily aimed at developing the ability to understand unsimplified texts, the content is taken from the press in English and deals with general topics, as well as issues relating to the social and legal organisation of society. These texts also serve as a basis for lexical extension, grammar review, oral synthesis exercises and conversation exercises.
Teaching methods
This is an interactive course, with a focus on continuous assessment.
As the course is interactive, it goes without saying that the evaluation also focuses on effective and regular participation: preparation of exercises proposed by the teacher, active participation in class discussions.
It is imperative that students consult Moodle at least once a week and that they read ALL announcements posted.
