Content
The course aims at developing the communication techniques appropriate to professional life in human resources / labour science as well as improving command of the language.
Teaching methods
Before each class activity, the teacher places a range of tools (communication techniques, useful expressions, general and specialised vocabulary, grammatical reminders) and resources (written documents, audiovisual aids, web sites ) at the students' disposal. Most of them are mentioned in the course notes and enable the students to interact in communication situations in so far as they have been prepared beforehand. Feedback activities are also planned. Students are given detailed instructions before each activity. Texts and videos are occasionally used as inputs to the oral discussion.
Evaluation methods
Students are assessed:
- in class: preparation and participation in the various activities, such as, for example, giving a talk, telephoning, taking part in a meeting etc., in the target language.
- at an individual oral exam (job interview).
- through written vocabulary tests. These can be taken during the term. However, the test(s) for which students do not get a pass (or the test(s) not taken) will have to be (re)taken at the exam.
