Aims

Acquire a higher intermediate level of communicative competence [B2 level in two skills: listening and speaking (both individual and interactive)].
After completing the course the student will be able :
- to understand and take part in an unplanned conversation (e.g. with a native speaker) about an everyday topic or (ii) a topic dealt with in the media
- to take part in a discussion about a topic with which s/he is familiar: understand the arguments put forward, be able to summarize them and express a personal opinion
- to follow with ease factual information presented e.g. on the radio or on television; be able to summarize and/or make a presentation on it.

Main themes

1. Speaking and listening skills: (i) listening comprehension will be promoted through acquisition and learning exercises while interactive exercises will aim to improve students' oral skills (pronunciation, intonation, accentuation) as well as their communicative/interactive skills. Conversation exercises in small groups will be organised as well as language laboratory exercises (30 hours with a limited number of students per session)
2. This course also aims to develop vocabulary at intermediate level : various lexical exercises will be proposed and self tuition promoted.
3. Grammatical applications: occasional enforcement of grammatical competence (morphological, syntactic and semantic aspects).

Content and teaching methods

(i) Contents : the topics covered mainly feature in the media and deal with society, politics, sports, culture (in a broad sense) or current affairs

-30 hours of lectures (all students are grouped together for this part of the course) during which the above-mentioned topics are presented in written form (newspaper articles) or audio/video form (recordings), commented upon and analysed.

-15 hours of conversation tutorials (groups of maximum 20 students) on the topics covered in the lectures.
-15 hours of language laboratory exercises on the topics covered in the lectures; other authentic documents (in particular audio documents) connected with the same topics can also be used to elicit students' reactions.
