Introduction
This course explores the national literature of the United States through a survey of excerpts from the colonial to the contemporary period. Students will learn about genres of literature as well as literary movements. In addition to speaking and conversing, this course will place particular emphasis on academic writing. Please note that, given the current context, you must be highly motivated and have the capacity to work well independently if you wish to succeed in this course. If you’re interested in American literature, history, and culture, and if you would like to improve your writing skills, this course is for you.
Learners will aim to master the fundamental language of academic English as applicable across a variety of skills and contexts, and work to apply this knowledge in the creation of academic-style documents fit for purpose in an international university. Participating students will be encouraged to apply for an international academic exchange at the end of the first year.
Finalités de l’apprentissage
Learners will aim to master the fundamental language of academic English as applicable across a variety of skills and contexts, and work to apply this knowledge in the creation of academic-style documents fit for purpose in an international university.

Attentes du cours
Use of all electronic devices is forbidden unless indicated otherwise.
Late arrivals will not be tolerated. Warnings will be issued for late arrivals, and repeated or severe lateness will be treated as an absence.
Classroom expectations:
The participation grade will be based on the following criteria:
• Punctuality: on-time, (non-disruptive arrival)
• Motivation: Only speaking English in Class
• 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 your ability.
• Positive: Contributing to positive class atmosphere
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.
Pour plus d'informations, voir sur le blog LSH : https://lsh.imt-bs.blog/
Chaque travail soumis pour notation doit être créé uniquement par l'apprenant et sans l'aide de correcteurs et/ou traducteurs automatiques de langue et sans l’aide d’outils de
texte génératif, sauf indication expresse et contraire de l’enseignant. Tout travail présentant des signes caractéristiques de tels usages, non conforme au niveau de l'apprenant,
se verra attribuer une note de 0/20. La décision finale sera prise par l'enseignant et le coordinateur du cours.
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.
