Teaching methods
- Courses in groups of max. 30 students (2* 1hour /week).
- The teacher is available during office hours and can be contacted by e-mail.
- The written exam will take place in week 14
- The class is divided into two sections: Theory and Practice (+ conversation tables).
Evaluation methods
Several marks come into account for the final assessment:
1) Continuous assessment covers all the activities organised during the course (30%)
2) Decembre exam (70%)
No credits will be allocated for this remediation course!
Students who failed the LALLE1130 Decembre test can resit the exam during their LALLE1230 May/June exam.
Second/third written exam covers everything and continuous assessment will not be taken into account. Only the mark of the exam will be taken into account.
Other information
The students of the first year ESPO will first have to inform the secretariat of their faculty about their choice of second language. They will then have access to a placement test.
In function of the marks they will obtain, different possibilities of remediation will be recommended if necessary. Among these possibilities the course LALLE 1130 will be offered.
Those who will choose to attend this course have to know that no credits will be allocated for this remediation course (cf. "Décret Bologne" of the French Community of Belgium).
