Introduction
"Learning Goals
This course introduces students to the basic language and concepts of business English and encourages them to apply this knowledge to the creation of an imaginary start-up. Each class will begin with some specific language work (listening, vocabulary, role-plays), based on the different steps of the creation of a start-up (finding the idea, recruiting, money, marketing, advertising, negotiating…). Then this knowledge will be put into practice. The students will work in groups of four and use the tools at their disposal (internet, PowerPoint).
Learning objectives
The objective of this course is for students to master the fundamental language of business English as well as understand the necessary mindset of the business world, and to apply this knowledge to the creation in groups of an imaginary start-up. Students should be able to:
• Use their negotiating skills while finding ways of financing their project
• Write a job advert to recruit a team member
• Carry out some market research
• Analyse the competition
• Think up an advertising campaign
• Work in teams to handle any potential difficulty which may occur while setting up the project
• Interact effectively in an online “classroom” and webinar setting
• Assess the finances of the project
• Sell their start-up
Students should be able to:
• Exercise judgement and flexibility in expressing complex ideas
• Conceive, plan and deliver academic presentations
• Interact effectively in a classroom and seminar setting
• Use techniques to engage in reasoned debate
• Facilitate discussions and show understanding in interpersonal contexts
• Deploy a range of reading techniques to quickly digest large quantities of reading material
• Use a range of appropriate strategies to maintain communication while listening
• Recognise and reuse key vocabulary and language patterns appropriate to an academic context
• Recognise cultural differences with the target culture
• Produce a CV for an international academic application

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 Classroom assignments, as detailed by the teacher: 2 Written Production assignments, and 1 Presentation).
Presence Grade: Students 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 student’s overall grade.
Participation Grade: Students will be assessed on their participation in class, according to the criteria in ‘classroom expectations’
In case of absence, it is the responsibility of the student to make up for any missed work in order to avoid such absences negatively impacting final grades.
Validating the tandem program will add 2 bonus points to a student’s CC grade of the corresponding language course.
CEFR Grade (A1-C2)
Students will be continuously assessed as to their language level relative to CEFR criteria.
There is NO DIRECT RELATION between a student’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.
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 d'UV/UE finale (CC+CF2) est plafonnée à 13/20 maximum.

Approches pédagogiques
Students are expected to show self-respect, respect for others, and give their best at all times.
Students 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.
Students should arrive to class ready to participate with the necessary materials
Pedagogical materials (non-contractual):
Students will analyse a range of supports from different media sources.
Texts: Students will be supplied with texts from differing sources and of differing lengths. Students will be asked to analyse, deconstruct, and/or reconstruct according to the objective at hand. Students will be asked to produce texts conforming to the genre studied.
Students may be asked to read aloud for practice in pronunciation. Full effort is required for pronunciation practice, so a ‘theatre’ mindset is required.
While studying texts, students should make notes / highlight unknown words, phrases and rhetorical devices during reading to ask questions during the class
New Media: Short videos or digital media will be presented in class with associated questions / tasks based on the input. Students should take notes on content during all presentation unless otherwise instructed.
Interactive: Any interactive material will require autonomous participation from the student. However, the student must signal problems and/or questions to the teacher at the earliest opportunity.
Collaborative: Group projects will be conducted regularly, and students will generally NOT be allowed to chose their group. This is to respect diversity and group dynamics. It is the group’s responsibility to make sure that all members conduct an equal amount of work.
Peer-grading: Students may be asked to grade each other’s work based on objective criteria, and provide feedback. Students are encouraged to grade honestly to better help their colleagues.
Vocabulary journaling / revision: Students should keep a vocabulary log and self-test on learned vocabulary throughout the semester
