| Course contents : | The course includes the following:

Here is the detail of the CEFRL levels of the course : listening (A2), reading (B1), speaking (A2), lecturing (B1), writing (A2). |
|
| Course objective : | The dual purpose of the course is (a) to consolidate and extend the student's general language understanding and use, and (b) to introduce the specific features of English for computing.
This is done in the four language skills, namely reading, speaking, writing and listening. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Good knowledge of basic English vocabulary and grammar (intermediate level). |
|
| Organization : | The in-class course is taught to 25 to 30 students for three weekly hours in the first semester.
Students will be asked to give a short oral presentation on an IT-related topic.
They will also have to complete a few writing assignments that will be marked.
Active class attendance, the oral presentation and the other tasks will count for 20% of the final mark.
Students who, for some VALID reason, can't come to class regularly must get in touch with their teacher as soon as possible. |
|
| Written notes : | Coursebook English for Computing (2010-2011) compulsory. Addtional modules will be made available on My ULg during the first term. If necessary, students can also buy the Grammaire de Base de l'Anglais (with exercises and key) ISLV, written in French. It is available on the Sart Tilman campus (at the Point de Vue). |
|
| Assessment : |
- Written exam in January and in June (reading and listening comprehension exercises, basic vocabulary of computing, grammar and language questions).

|
| 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. |
