- activate specific strategies and knowledge in the framework of a "specialized language";
- apply strategies discussed and tested throughout the year; therefore, define and comment on their methodology;

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :

In the second half of the year, the students will have to hand in a portfolio, in which they will show their capacity to deal with specific difficulties, to decide on strategies and relevant choices according to their source document. |
