Course contents :
|
| The course tahght in another language than French is organized in two parts :

 | | Personen- en familierecht : bijzondere vraagstukken |
|
| The content of the class is the impact of the human rights as protected by the European Convention on Human Rights on family and personal matters. A description is made of the typical mechanisms of control and interpretation used by the Court in Strasbourg and of the main principles and notions of its large jurisprudence. Throughout the courses the students will become aware of the importance of human rights for this part of private law. As a survey of the whole jurisprudence on family law cannot fit in a course of only 15 hours, only a selection is made of the most important decisions concerning a concrete subject-matter (e.g. adoption by a homosexual couple). The students have to prepare the course by reading at home the next judgment or decision. A written syllabus is distributed by the professor, only this preparation will permit all participants of the course to respect the rhythm imposed by the professor. |

|
| This Dutch complementary language module aims essentially at improving the student's oral command of Dutch and focusses on skills such as giving a presentation, arguing, expressing one's opinion.
It will deal with law topics and cover legal vocabulary without focussing on one particular area, or concentrating on purely technical terminolgy.
Moreover, students will learn to put basic language structures into practice in order to develop their oral fluency. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
| | Personen- en familierecht : bijzondere vraagstukken |
|
| Objective of the course is enabling the student to follow a Dutch spoken class in law. The subject of the course, i.e. the analysis of some major decisions on Human Rights, is used as a pretext to talk and write in Dutch. An active participation of the student during the course is a must (system of non-stop evaluation). Only by doing this not only the everyday Dutch vocabulary but also the specific vocabulary on the Human Rights will be passed on (in English, French and Dutch). |

| At the end of this module the students will have

- strengthened their oral skills in order to stand the oral examination in their main course.

|
| The courses are interactive. Progressively a more and more active participation of each student is required. The students have to become able to discuss in Dutch on a law topic. The accent is put on the spoken language, not on the written part of it. The teacher will take into consideration the individual starting level of the student during the courses. The participation of the student and its progress in language during the courses is an important element for the oral examination. |

| Each student will obtain a global mark for the course, whish consists of two separate grades one for section of the course as follows :
- 3/4th of the global mark for the legal part
- 1/4th of the global mark for the language support part.
A student who obtains a grade equal or lower than 8/20 for one of the two components, is not entitled to obtain more than 9/20 for the global mark.

|
| The oral examination consists in a dialogue between the student and the professor. The examination consists of 2 parts.
For the first part, the student has a few minutes to prepare on paper his oral response to a general question on the theory seen in the course.
In the second part, the capacity of the student to express himself in Dutch is evaluated, this dialogue must concern a subject (text, decision, newspaper-article, songtext, poem,...) freely chosen by the student but relating both to the human rights and to family law. A clear message has to be expressed by the student.
The presence and participation of the student during the course is also important for the examination. The result of the examination on this juridical part counts represents 75% of the global result. The other 25% is evaluated by the linguistic part (Mme Delaet). |
