Learning unit contents
This course is the Upper Intermediate course, a natural follow-up of the first year's course. It aims to develop all four pillars of language learning (reading, writing, listening, expression).
The course will focus on grammar, needless to say, but will do so in a more pragmatic and even practical way.
In order to improve, students are required to attend class regularly as impromptu tests are not ruled out. It is also important to bear in mind that the more students are exposed to a language, the faster they will be able to pick it up.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
- Revision and enrichment of advanced English vocabulary as well as of its appropriate use.
- Reading comprehension: understanding texts, summarizing the information, reacting to the content.
- Revision and extension of essential and advanced grammar principles and rules.

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
Temporary course organisation - First semester 2026-2027 As part of my paternity leave, the organisation of the course will be temporarily adapted until Friday, 13 November 2026 inclusive.
During this period, you will follow the course online. You will regularly receive documents and activities through the usual course platforms so that you can continue working towards the learning objectives of the course. These materials will include, among other things, grammar explanations and exercises, activities related to the skills developed in the course, as well as a task to complete every two weeks.
The instructions, necessary documents, and deadlines specific to this course will be communicated to you through the materials made available to you.
From the week of 16 November 2026 onwards, classes will resume in person according to the usual timetable.
In the meantime, I wish you an excellent start to the semester and look forward to seeing you in class soon.
