Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.

Main themes

The student is invited to choose a subject related to one of the courses of his program he previously studied. The subject must be accepted by an academic or a scientific member of staff of the UCL who will agree to be the promoter of the student. The role of the promoter is to bring to the student all the help which he will consider necessary for the scientific and technical aspects of the oral presentation. The master in English will bring the help necessary to manage the linguistic aspects.

The oral presentation is public and strictly in English (texts, figures and comments) as well as the answers to the questions. The time is strictly limited to a total of 20 minutes.
Aims

The aim of this activity is to familiarize the student with the requirements of the oral presentation in English of a scientific subject. This activity has to, on one hand, help him to integrate the notions of exactness, precision and conciseness necessary for the collection and the critical analysis of a scientific information and, on the other hand, to become used to the technical aspects (computerized presentation, management of the time of presentation, etc.) and linguistic of the oral communication in the main language of the scientific world

The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
