Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Content
- Code control: general and specific vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation
- Independent comprehension (reading and listening) of scientific documents related to a technical course in the Bachelor's program.
- Proficiency in the language functions commonly used for group interaction.
- Some students (depending on the placement test results) will make a presentation on a scientific topic related to a technical course in the Bachelor's program. They will have been taught the skills necessary to perform this task beforehand.
Teaching methods
The methods used will focus on active and interactive learning. This learning involves an important first step of preparation, on which the course will be based: students are given specific instructions to work, individually or in groups, on problems that will lead them to discover, for example, certain lexical or grammatical aspects of the documents. Students are encouraged to apply what they have prepared to the course, particularly in oral expression activities.
Evaluation methods
- At the beginning of the academic year, all students must take the placement/exemption test. This one is at the same level as the exam. This test allows, on the basis of their results, to exempt students and direct them towards a specific path at their level.
- The continuous evaluation covers the activities organised during the course and the online work on the Moodle platform. As the language used in the course is English, students will also be assessed on their ability to use English effectively in the course activities and on their level of participation in general.
- The September exam will cover all the material and the grades only include results from the September exam.
