Teaching methods
This interfaculty course is intended for UCLouvain international students and staff members. It emphasizes contact between learners and encourages interaction with the teacher.
Based on the CEFR, this course is based on the multiple intelligences of students, solicited by reflective, communicative and action-oriented tasks.
The teaching approach is resolutely interactive and draws on collective intelligence.
The course takes place face-to-face, but some activities / sessions could take place on Teams if the distance learning offers an educational added value.
