Teaching methods
In this course, students are invited to invest the French language in the various situations students, teacher-researcher and/or PhD students encounter in their academic life (receptive and productive situations).
The course is conceived on the one hand as a seminar (discovery and collective construction of knowledge) and as a more classical language course (linguistic and technical information given by the teacher).
Critical analysis and its expression in French are developed.
The teacher is both expert and coach.
