Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
| | Part 1 : English |
|
| Considering its objectives, the course cannot be regarded as an introduction to the basics of the English language. Therefore, it is vital for anyone taking the course to have a basic grounding in general English language and grammar (secondary school level).
For those who would meet with some difficulties because of a lack of knowledge of the English language, they can use the following options to consolidate their learning:
- @lter: Our distance learning programme for foreign languages (for further details: www.elearning.ulg.ac.be/alter (http://www.elearning.ulg.ac.be/alter) or alter@ulg.ac.be)
- Students can train on-line. To do so, simply log on to http://www.islv.ulg.ac.be (http://www.islv.ulg.ac.be/). Click on ANGLAIS and INTERFACE ETUDIANTS in order to have access to the exercises.
