Learning unit contents
The remedial course has the aim of revising the basic grammatical structures as well as training reading comprehension skills.
Here is the detail of the CEFRL levels of the course : reading (B1); [speaking (B1), writing (B1)]
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
- Refreshing and increasing students' knowledge of grammar.
- Activating reading strategies such as skimming, scanning, detecting text coherence.
- Expanding the vocabulary related to the fields of psychology
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
A basic knowledge of English (equivalent to the A2-level of the CEFRL)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Weekly 90-minute classes in average-sized groups.
The course module will be devoted to revising the basics of English grammar as well as the training of reading skills.
Students will have to prepare the reading file at home for the final exam. This reading file is made up of articles that deal with psychological themes.
Regular practise is key to the student's progress.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Every week will either consist of a 90-minute class or work to do on their own at home. Students will therefore have to stay at home every two weeks.
Recommended or required readings
- English Grammar in Use with Answers - Fourth or fifth Edition

Cambridge University Press
- Scientific articles with exercises available on e-campus

Organizational remarks
Students can train on-line on the "grammaire de base interactive" module on e-campus.
Students can also sign up for one of the English courses organised within the framework of the so-called @lter program. These interactive courses ideally complement the first-year refresher course as well as the second-year level A course.
