This course is exclusively interactive, with the students carrying out their projects in the context of vocational induction.

These activites are aimed at improving the various language and communication skills (listening and reading comprehension, writing and speaking).
Various materials and activities are used: role-playing, debates, group work, songs, film, documentaries, etc.
Teaching methods
The course is given face-to-face, with some distance learning sessions  and with e-learning support on UCLouvain platforms (Teams, Moodle uclouvain) and other external platforms (Google, Zoom...).
The module is essentially based on PBL (problem-based learning) and on the principle of self-assessment: the student is at the heart of their learning and is cognitively involved, so that they can construct knowledge and know-how by themselves as well as with the help of their peers. Thus, various forms of self-assessment and peer-assessment are proposed throughout the learning module.
Evaluation methods
Assessment is continuous with different tests throughout the term (written expression, oral presentations, assignments, attendance and participation). The evaluation is as follows:
