Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course is focused on teaching the specific pitfalls that academic English presents to foreign learners. This includes grammar, linking words and vocabulary.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Students will be able to read, understand and write academic English, as well as presenting data found in such texts.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
A high mastery of the English language is required.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Code Orange
As best as possible, classes will resume normally. Those who wish to attend are more than welcome to do so. Those who do not feel comfortable attending class in such conditions will not be penalised.
All files will be made available to all students though the usual platform. Any explanations given in class will either be transcribed or recorded for those who cannot attend.
Code Red
The main way forward in this scenario is through self-work though modules and texts made available to students via myuliege. Seminars or video conferences will be organised in order to maintain the current level. Additional activities will be put in place.
January Exam Session Update:
The written exam is cancelled. The presentation will be maintained and be done virtually, meaning that students will record themselves at home and send a link (or the file) for the exam date.
Recommended or required readings
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Code Yellow:
Students will receive half their marks for class work. This includes:
25% Presenting the content of an academic text
25% Writing a critical review of an academic text
The exams will provide the other half of the marks
25% for a written exam. Students will be asked to write an abstract for an academic text
25% for an oral exam. Students will be asked to present the pertinent data located within an academic text
Code Orange:
Should the sanitary conditions allow it, same mode of eximinations as in Code Yellow will be maintained.
Code Red:
The in-class required tasks will be transmitted electonically. The summary and the critique can be sent through email. As for the presentation, students will be asked to record themselves and send the links (or videos) of their presentations.
Concerning the January examination, the written aspect will be dropped. Students will still require to present the data of a scientific text, but will do so by recording themselves, as for the in-class presentation.
