Teaching methods
The course is based on different themes.  Learning is contextualised by didactic and/or authentic documents (reading and listening comprehension).  Vocabulary and basic structures are trained, consolidated and extended through written and oral exercises (drills, roleplays, interviews, conversations in small groups,...). 
In speaking skills, the focus is on communication rather than on correction, however phonetical correction will be stressed. An interactive and cultural approach is favoured.
Modality of teaching during the pandemic
For this course, classroom teaching is favoured, but this modality could change depending on the evolution of the pandemic. Under the red code, online teaching will be the rule.
Evaluation methods
Different marks are taken into account in the final assessment:
  1. continuous assessment
  2. written and oral exam
