Course contents :
|
| The placement concerning the specialisation in oral language and disability is a minimum of 360 hours. The student must spend at least 300 hours at the placement and take part in a placement support seminar (60 hours). They can spend the amount of time allocated to the placement in different places, in which case, each place will be the subject of a specific agreement.
The placement support seminar aims to develop the student's clinical skills and better prepare them for their future as a professional. This seminar is carried out in small groups and deals with themes proposed by the students, allowing them to also share information on relationship, ethical and deontological aspects associated with the practice of speech & language therapy. |

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The aim of the placement is to ensure the clinical application of the classes taught at the University of Liège in a professional environment. Students won't ever be asked to perform any tasks they haven't learnt in class.
The placement will begin as soon as students have passed the master 1 in speech & language therapy. They should have finished them by the end of the second session of exams in the master 2 year (end August) at the latest. It is the work placement mentor (for the main placement) who counts the number of hours worked, not the student, or the clinical supervisor (for the additional placement).
Students have the possibility of validating a maximum of 24 hours of placement in external training according to the following conditions:
- The training must be specifically in speech & language therapy and linked to the theme of the placement, and validated by the academic work placement supervisor;
- The number of indicated placement hours must be strictly respected;
- Students must inform their work placement mentor of any training they wish to do and validate as placement hours.
- A paper certifying the student's presence at the training must be given to the work placement mentor and to the supervisor, and attached to the placement report;
- A critical report of the training (3 pages maximum, including a description of the training - theme, those involved, place - a rapid summary and a critical analysis) must be given to the work placement mentor and to the supervisor, and then be made available to the other students via e-Campus. |

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The assessment will be carried out according to the placement assessment grid based on the skills system of reference. Students must download two copies of the grid from e-Campus and hand it in to the work placement mentor.
· Halfway through the placement, there is a three-stage formative assessment:
1) Self-assessment by the student, who assesses what point they have reached in their development for each of the five skills in the reference system (argued assessment of their development and the level they think they have achieved);
2) Assessment of the student by the work placement mentor according to the same criteria;
3) Meeting between the student and the work placement mentor so that they can compare opinions and readjust the placement objectives (or set new ones).
· At the end of the placement, there is a formative assessment (certificate-based for the teaching team). The formative assessment takes place halfway through the assessment. The student then sends the assessment grid, duly completed by both the student and the work placement mentor, to the teaching team at ULg (students must attach the grid to their placement report). The mentor will also provide a qualitative assessment of the placement (excellent, very good, good, fair, etc.). The assessment made at the site of the placement will be converted into a mark by the teaching team.
· The final mark for the placement will be calculated as follows: 50% for the main placement, 50% for the placement report, assessed by the teaching team. Students must hand their report into the 'Unité de Logopédie Clinique', by 1st June at the latest for the first exam session or by 15th August for the second exam session.
Note regarding spelling: command of the French language is one of the basic competences in order to work as a speech & language therapist. As such, if the documents (written work or placement report) contain more than 10 spelling mistakes (use and/or agreements) in the first exam session, they will be given a fail (5/20) and will have to be handed in again during the second exam session. If the documents handed in during the second session contain more than 10 spelling mistakes, two points will be deducted from the final mark for the placement.
Note regarding the deadline for handing in documents: Students must respect the deadline set for the documents (written work and placement report) that have to be done. Documents handed in late will be given a fail (5/20) in the first exam session and will have to be handed in during the second exam session. If the documents are handed in late during the second session, two points will be deducted from the final mark for the placement. |

Organizational remarks :
|
| Obligations concerning the placement:
- Students must respect the ethical and deontological principles of speech & language therapy, both with regard to the patients entrusted to them and the team receiving them.
- They may not do their placement with a work placement mentor whom they know personally (member of the family, friend, etc.) and who may subsequently fail to be impartial as regards the student's assessment.
- It is compulsory to do the 360 hours of the placement. In case of absence, even justified by a medical certificate, the hours not worked will not be counted by the work placement mentor or the clinical supervisor.
- Before the beginning of the year, and before starting the placements, students must complete and hand in the following documents to the department in question: the agreements for the main placement and for the additional placement, to be handed into the 'Apparitorat' (documents required in order to be covered by the university's insurance) and the agreements to be handed into the 'Logopédie Clinique' department (specifying the role of the student and that of their work placement mentor). |
