| Course contents : | This makes up the first part of the course for Information and Communication students (continued in the second year).
The course as well as the various learning activities in class, aim at activating the knowledge students have acquired in high school and at preparing them to use the English language in an active way.
The course is based on the study of different modules from the coursebooks. Students must prepare actively and regularly at home for the weekly class. Presence and participation are necessary and will be taken into account in the final mark.
The book includes the four main language skills (writing, reading, speaking and listening) as well as grammar and vocabulary in use. Students will be expected to do the langue exercises in the workbook.
Here is the detail of the CEFRL levels of the course : listening (B1), reading (B1), speaking (B1), writing (B1) |
