| Course contents : | This English course is meant for students in their first year of a Bachelor's degree in human and social sciences or in sociology and anthropology as well as for students in their preliminary complement to register in the "licence" in sociology. Its level corresponds to the FCE (Cambridge First Certificate Examination). The topics dealt with in the different chapters of the coursebook were primarily chosen to be of interest for sociology students and to allow them to express themselves orally and in writing. | |||||||||||
| ||||||||||||
| Course objective : | The different chapters of the coursebook cover the following aspects: speaking, writing, reading comprehension and listening comprehension, vocabulary broadening and consolidation and grammar. | |||||||||||
| ||||||||||||
| Prerequisites : | The class is taught in English from the start and is not meant for complete beginners. | |||||||||||
| ||||||||||||
| Organization : | The class is taught 2 hours a week over the two semesters. Besides actively taking part in the two hours of class weekly, students will have to work approximately another three hours at home (self-study of grammar, preparation of the grammar and vocabulary exercises, writing exercises and listening practice, readings and information search). Regular tests will be organised during the year to check how well students have prepared their course. These tests will account for 10% of the final mark and will allow the students to assess what they have learned, what they still need to improve, how much they have progressed and whether their method of working enables them to cope efficiently with the requirements of the course. | |||||||||||
| ||||||||||||
| Written notes : | Students will have to buy the coursebook entitled Level-A English for sociology students, as well as the readings section. Praticalities will be discussed during the first class. | |||||||||||
| ||||||||||||
| Assessment : | The final exam consists of three compulsory parts: an oral exam, a written exam and a listening test. The oral exam will be about the different chapters of the coursebook as well as about ten pages of text the students will have selected from the readings file and individually prepared at home. The written exam will be based on all the chapters of the coursebook. It will assess students' reading and writing abilities as well as their grammar and vocabulary knowledge. Students will have to be able to write about all the topics dealt with in class. The listening test will take place in the language lab during one of the last weeks of classes. Students who fail the final exam have to resit both the written and the oral exam. | |||||||||||
