Course contents :

| The course is divided into two segments. The first semester will focus on the coursebook (English Unlimited) whereas the second half of hte year will focus on academic English.
The chapters of the coursebook as well as the various learning activities in class aim at enabling the students to consolidate and to improve their oral and written skills.
The course is based on the study of different modules from the coursebook. 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 language exercises in the workbook and progress will be assessed by a number of quizzes.
The academic side of the course will focus on the pitfalls of written English, and the requirements to write and present information in a formal way. |

La présence au cours est OBLIGATOIRE. L'étudiant absent à plus de 30% des séances avec ou sans justification est irrecevable à présenter l'examen. Cette irrecevabilité est d'application non seulement pour l'examen de 1 ère session mais aussi pour celui de la seconde session. L'étudiant est, en conséquent, noté « absent » ou « excusé» pour l'ensemble du cours.
Le stage organisé dans le cadre du cursus n'entre pas en ligne de compte pour le calcul des 30% |
