|
| Remarks : | Considering the significant differences between students, the limited in-class teaching time and the number of students per group, supervised self-learning and remedial work should be given due attention.
Students can also train on line. To do so, simply log on to http://www.islv.ulg.ac.be > Les Langues > Anglais > Interface Etudiants in order to have access to the exercises. |
