Oral production:
The student is able to give a clear and methodical presentation on a subject related to his/her speciality. He/she can underline significant points and relevant elements. He/she can also give his/her point of view and link arguments logically, as well as give relevant examples.
The main objective of this course is oral production with and without interaction. The target level is B2/B2+.
The course offers various activities aimed at actively participating in a conversation or debate in a small group and presenting a short oral presentation. There are also activities to improve comprehension of specialised language and listening comprehension.
The first semester will be reserved for building confidence and developing communication skills in interaction. Before each session, the student will be asked to prepare a section of the material which will serve as a basis for supervised oral expression. Oral activities will be carried out in small groups under the supervision of the teacher.
The second semester will be devoted to structured oral presentations. After theoretical coaching on presentation issues and techniques, each student will have to present his or her own paper on a topic preferably related to his or her field of specialisation.
• written exam in January session = 40% (closed book, on Q1 material = Talk Sense and Oxford Practice Grammar/English Grammar in Use)
• June oral exam = 25%.
• compulsory oral presentation in the second semester + summary = 35%.
Failure to submit any of the three components will result in automatic failure.
In awarding the final grade, active participation in the course will also be taken into account, as well as the chances of success in further learning.
[ !!! In case of failure, please contact the course owner before the end of June to define the modalities of the second session examination [!!!]
