Content
The teaching unit consists of two parts: "written communication" and "oral communication".
1. The "oral communication" part, which alternates between theoretical presentations and numerous exercises, allows the student to review and practise, in the first instance, the various paraverbal, verbal and bodily cues, such as voice (intonation, flow, pauses, intensity, emphasis, articulation, etc.), occupation of space, distance, gestures, gaze, construction of an oral presentation, etc. In a second phase,
other more specific issues will be addressed: time management and speaking turns; reformulation; group functioning, etc.
2. The "written communication" component enables students to develop their mastery of written French (in its lexicological, syntactic and orthographic dimensions) and to exercise a skill of synthesis.
The course will focus on the development of vocabulary (idioms, paronyms, language history, regionalisms, borrowings, etc.) This dimension will be reinvested in writing and rewriting exercises.

Evaluation methods
This course consists of two parts (oral communication and written communication) and therefore two separate assessments.
Oral communication: the student conducts an interview with a professional in a trade. The interview, which will be recorded, concerns the practice of this profession.
The student is free to choose the person he/she interviews, but makes sure that the person is as close as possible to him/her. The student hands in a support on which there is a significant extract from the interview (about two minutes) and a personal oral presentation of this interview (about 1'30). The work takes place before the session and is presented to a small group of students during the last two classes of the year. The work is assessed according to the following criteria: fluency, construction of the introduction, interest in the subject and choice of extracts, application and mastery of the techniques and criteria covered in the course.
Written communication: the assessment will take the form of a written exam consisting of a paraphrase and questions on the vocabulary studied during the term (definition, synonyms, identification and correction of lexical improprieties, etc.).
The "oral communication" part represents 75% of the EU mark and the "written communication" part 25% of the EU mark. Students are invited to consult the details of the marks which will be posted on the Moodle page of the course after the results have been announced. A mark equal to or higher than 10/20 for a part of the course (oral communication or written communication) will automatically be carried over to the second (or third) session and cannot be repeated. An absence or attendance mark for one of the assessments (oral or written communication) will be extended to the whole course.
