Planned learning activities and teaching methods

"ex-cathedra" teaching

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

face-to-face (distance learning if the health situation requires it)

Organisational adjustments related to the current health context

We would prefer to organize an exam with students in the classrooms. However, if the University remains in the yellow code or switch to the orange or red code, and that the health situation yields unsurmountable organizational difficulties, the exams will be remotely carried out.

Recommended or required readings

"Cognition" part : Slides of the course on My ULg
"Language" part :  Course summaries (pdf files) on MyUlg + Required reading : Field, J. (2005). Language and the Mind. NY: Routledge.

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.

Organizational remarks

second quadrimester
Students are authorized to record lectures strictly for their personal use, in the context of an academic purpose, but the reproduction and the distribution of these recordings are forbidden.


Students will be informed, as soon as possible, about how they will be allowed to see their examination papers after the first and the second exam sessions. Modalities will depend on the current health situation.
