Expectations
Learner Expectations:
Learners are expected to show self-respect, respect for others, and give their best at all times.
Learners should be ready for a high degree of interaction: in pairs, groups, and in open class environments. Discussion will be the norm and everyone is expected to contribute in every class.
Learners should arrive to class ready to participate with the necessary materials.
Use of all electronic devices is forbidden unless indicated otherwise.
Punctuality / Attendance:
Attendance is obligatory for all courses and exercises. Attendance will be registered at every session, with non-attendance impacting learner grades.
Learners are expected to be ready to start on time for each session. This means arriving prepared to work at least a few minutes early for class.
Learners arriving after the start time may be admitted to class (at the discretion of the teacher), but will be marked as late (impacting presence grade). Learners arriving 5 (or more) minutes late will be marked absent for the entire class. The same rules apply when returning from breaks.
All absences must be justified through the central administration of the student's program. The corresponding documentation must be submitted directly to the teacher within 7 calendar days following the absence. After this period, absences will be considered unjustified by the LSH.
It is the responsibility of the learner to make up for any and all missed work.
Participation:
Participation grades are based on the following criteria:
Punctuality: on-time and ready-to-work (non-disruptive in time-keeping)
Motivation: Only speaking English in Class, no use of translation tools
Collaborative: Interacting appropriately during pair/group work
Engagement: Participating appropriately in whole-class activities
Focus: Remaining focused during teacher input and on class tasks
Committed to Homework: Homework delivered on time and to the best of ability
Positive: Contributing to a positive class atmosphere
Academic Integrity:
Each assignment submitted for grading must be created solely by the learner without the help of automated correctors and/or language translators and without the help of generative text tools, unless expressly indicated otherwise by the teacher. Any work showing characteristic signs of such usage, not conforming to the learner's level, will be given a grade of 0/20. The final decision will be made by the teacher and the course coordinator.
Evaluation
All Grading will be on a scale of 0 to 20, unless otherwise stated.
The CF makes up 1/3 of the final grade for the module (UV/UE).
The CC makes up 2/3 of the final grade for the module (UV/UE). This CC grade is made up of equal parts ‘PP’ grade (Presence & Participation), and ‘CC*’ Grade (3 Selected assignments, as detailed by the teacher).
CC1: Graded Written activity (as defined by the class teacher)
CC2: Graded Oral activity (as defined by the class teacher)
CC3: Mock CF, including Vocabulary quiz.
CF: 50% Vocabulary Test, 50% teacher-defined activity.
Presence Grade: Learners will receive credit for attending class regularly, up to a maximum of 1/6 of their total grade. Unjustified absences will thus have a direct impact on a learner’s overall grade.
Participation Grade: Learners will be assessed on their participation in class, according to the criteria in ‘classroom expectations’
Validating the tandem program will add 2 bonus points to a learner’s CC grade of the corresponding language course.
CEFR Grade (A1-C2)
Learners will be continuously assessed as to their language level relative to CEFR criteria.
There is NO DIRECT RELATION between a learner’s CC*/CF/PP and their CEFR level.
Une absence au non justifiée au CF1 par le service de scolarité centrale entraîne la note 0/20.
CF2
En cas d’échec (note finale inférieure à 10) au CF1, un Contrôle Final 2 (CF2) est organisé.
A LSH, la note de CF2 ne remplace QUE la note du CF1 et, lorsque votre absence au CF1 n'est pas justifiée par la scolarité centrale de votre école, alors votre note finale de module (UV/UE) est plafonnée à 13/20 (donc CC+CF2).

Grades are subject to moderation by the course coordinator. The value of grades may increase or decrease.
