Teaching methods
This is a flipped classroom class. The first step consists in an comprehensive preparation of the class session by the students, who will have access to documents (texts, videos) on the Moodle UCL platform as well as series of exercises to help them reinforce their understanding of the documents. In class, students will have a chance to ask for clarifications for any questions they may have after the preparation, get exercises to improve some lexical and grammatical points, and participate in speaking activities.
Students will also have to prepare a presentation on a subject related to computer science. Training in presentation techniques is also part of the course.
