The course is taught in-person: 2h/week in Q1 and 3h/week in Q2.
Class attendance is vital. Please take this into account when signing up for the course.
Individual homework is focussed on the following aspects:
* Training and learning of the syntax and the new lexicon.
* grammatical and lexical exercices to be done at home helps identify weaknesses and necessary remediation.
* vocabulary training first calls for revision of the advanced lexicon of B2 and then for further learning through press articles dealt with in class (business world, news).
* Preparing individual presentations.
