| Content |
The course focuses on interactive communication within the professional framework. The proposed activities therefore aim at developing communication skills in that area, as well as improving mastery of the language. These activities, which simulate real-life situations, are of two types:
1) presentation and activation of language functions related to the professional life (everyday socializing, telephoning, role-plays involving patient-dentist).
2) Individual and interactive speaking activities. This part includes a presentation on a topic related to the medical field (dentistry) and a half-hour debate.
These activities require a certain amount of preparation on the part of the student, who has to improve his or her linguistic knowledge autonomously.
