Content

The goal of this course is to train the students to read, comment, and synthesize English scientific papers in relation to physical therapy and rehabilitation. The papers will be selected in the international reviews with peer review. The students moreover will be invited to orally present their synthesis which will be the object of constructive criticism and an evaluation. 

Teaching methods

Work in small classes of 80 students divided into groups of 4- 5 students. The course is given over one month during the Q1 of Bac3 (from October to January). The course is given in the month in which the students do not have an internship. A presentation of the work to be carried out and the objectives of the course is made by the coordinator at the beginning of the month. The students form their small working group (4-5 students) and receive an article in English to read and work on for 2-3 weeks.
The students work together in teams during these 2 or 3 weeks and prepare their oral presentation to be made at the end of the month.
At the end of the month, the students present their article orally and are questioned by their teacher about it. The grade of the presentation is their exam grade. 
The explanations are given on teams and the presentations are done in person.
