The objective of this teaching unit is to enable students to achieve a linguistic competence level between B1+ and B2, as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The emphasis will primarily be on developing receptive skills at the B2 level while progressing towards the B2 level in productive skills. This progression towards the B2 level will be consolidated in Bloc 3.
To achieve the defined objectives, this course offers exercises aimed at improving reading and listening comprehension, as well as expanding general and scientific vocabulary. Students will also have to actively participate in small group conversations and write short written productions. Additionally, a review of basic grammar will also part of the course material.
Written Exam in January (40%)
Oral Exam in June (20%)
Please be aware that for both the June and August/September sessions, students must have completed all parts of the assessment and cannot fail in more than two different parts in order to pass the course. If a student obtains an average of 10/20 with three failing grades or did not complete one of the assessment components, a symbolic grade of 9/20 will be assigned.
Warning : please note that the success of this teaching unit does not lead to certification.
