Learning unit contents

This course makes up the first part of the course for History students. The course as well as the various learning activities in class aim at activating the knowledge students have acquired in high school, preparing them to use the English language in an active way and introducing history-related vocabulary. Students must prepare actively and regularly at home for the weekly class. Active participation in discussions is necessary and will be taken into account in the final mark. The coursebook includes the four main language skills (writing, reading, speaking and listening) as well as grammar and vocabulary in use. Here is the detail of the CEFRL levels of the course : listening (B1-B2), reading (B1-B2), speaking (B1-B2), writing (B1-B2).
