Course contents :

This course is the Upper Intermediate course, a natural follow-up of the first year's course. It aims to develop all four pillars of language learning (reading, writing, listening, expression).

The course will focus on grammar, needless to say, but will do so in a more pragmatic and even practical way.

In order to improve, students are required to attend class regularly as impromptu tests are not ruled out. It is also important to bear in mind that the more students are exposed to a language, the faster they will be able to pick it up.

Learning outcomes of the course :

Revision and enrichment of advanced English vocabulary as well as of its appropriate use.
Reading comprehension: understanding texts, summarizing the information, reacting to the content.
Revision and extension of essential and advanced grammar principles and rules.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

Students are forced to participate in order to progress. Classes are relatively small so that more people can talk and exchange their ideas.

Speaking French is frowned up in class.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

Weekly sessions of 2hrs.

Recommended or required readings :

Course documents will be made available to students through myulg. Plus required reading materials for the examination

Assessment methods and criteria :

During the year: Continuous assessment worth 6 marks Mid-Term test (January): Listening Comprehension worth 2 marks At the end of the year: Written examination worth 6 marks Oral examination worth 6 marks. 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%
