Course contents :
|
| Listening activities based on texts and articles dealing with various subjects form the basis of this course. We will also work on the language functions that are essential when one has to take the floor, take notes, or ask questions during lectures, debates, interviews etc.
Students will be required to participate actively in the course, which implies that attendance in class is essential. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| As this is a B2/C1 level course, students are expected to be able to do the following by the end of the term:
- understand extended speech and lectures even when it is not clearly structured and when relationships are only implied and not signaled explicitly.
- follow complex lines of argument provided the subject is relatively familiar.
- take clear, structured notes based on an oral presentation.
- summarise both orally and in writing the main ideas they heard in a listening exercise.
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| The level of this course corresponds to the European levels B2/C1. Students will thus need to have good basic knowledge of English and thorough knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar studied in the first-, second- and third-year courses in the bachelor's degree. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The main objective of this course is to help students to improve their listening and note-taking skills. This will involve using a variety of recorded materials, including authentic interviews, recordings of classroom lectures, documentaries and other audio material.
Students will demonstrate their understanding of the material through written exercises and discussions. So, the course will also offer students an opportunity to explain what they have understood to others. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course is a 2-hour class taught weekly in a language laboratory from February to May 2014. |
