Introduction
Gender-based arguments have long been
used as tools to claim Western moral
superiority, and rationalize Western
political domination, over the Middle
East. Thus, in 1832, the British admiral
Adolphus Slade claimed that “woman is
only a toy with Orientals, and, like a toy,
when discarded, useless.” And in 2002,
First Lady Laura Bush justified the US
invasion of Afghanistan by stating that
“the fight against terrorism is also a fight
for the rights and dignity of women.” To
escape such dangerous generalizations,
and to truly comprehend gender norms
that diverge from our own, we need to
study their history and development from
within.
In this course, we will examine the history of gender in the Middle East from ca. 1500 to
1800, that is, until the advent of “Westernization.” We will encounter a surprising world in
which sexual orientation could change with age, power radiated outwards from female-run
households, and even the concepts of male and female were seen as part of a continuum
rather than as opposites. We will discuss the changes to this gender world during the
nineteenth century and, finally, analyze the ways in which different gender norms are still
misrepresented and instrumentalized as political tools today.
Acquis d'apprentissage
ILO17 Communicate and collaborate in different contexts
(GA11) Decipher expectations (issues, interests) of different partners
(GA12) Use culturally appropriate methods to speak, interact sensitively, and get messages across
(GA14) Produce efficient 'language acts' appropriate to both audience and objective (emails, reports, essays, minutes, presentations, meetings etc.)
Language Rubrics:
• Reading: has a broad active reading vocabulary, reads with a large degree of independence, adapting style and speed of reading to different texts and purposes. Can identify inconsistencies between two or more general-purpose documents on a similar theme.
• Reading Stretch Goal: Can understand in detail a wide range of lengthy, complex texts likely to be encountered in social, professional, or academic life, though may require time to reread.
• Writing: Can write a range of moderately complex documents describing processes, progress, and points of view.
• Writing Stretch Goal: Can present points of view in a paper, developing an argument, highlighting the most important points, and supporting my reasoning with examples
• Listening: Can demonstrate effective understanding of explanations about previously unknown routines, procedures and tasks from someone speaking slowly, or in a familiar accent.
• Listening: Can summarise short comparative explanations, or the main points of a radio news broadcast.
• Speaking: Can describe processes, plotlines and procedures relating to known situations. Can tell a colleague about a recent humorous event.
• Speaking (presenting): Can give a clear, well-structured presentation, with highlighting of significant points and can answer questions about the content. Can depart spontaneously from prepared text and follow up interesting points raised by members of the audience.
• Interacting: Can discuss and explain effectively in a range of common scenarios, with known and unknown actors.
• Interacting: Can keep up with a discussion and express ideas and opinions clearly, precisely, and convincingly, even in formal meetings.
• Interacting: Can help to negotiate a solution to a dispute, for example financial responsibility for damage in a rented flat.

Attentes du cours
Attentes des apprenants :
Les apprenants doivent faire preuve de respect de soi, de respect pour les autres et donner le meilleur d'eux-mêmes en tout temps.
Les apprenants doivent être prêts pour un haut degré d'interaction : en binôme, en groupe et en environnement de classe ouverte. La discussion sera la norme et chacun est attendu pour contribuer à chaque cours.
Les apprenants doivent arriver en classe prêts à participer avec le matériel nécessaire.
L'utilisation de tous les appareils électroniques est interdite sauf indication contraire.
Ponctualité / Présence:
La présence est obligatoire pour tous les cours et exercices. La présence sera enregistrée à chaque session, et l'absence aura un impact sur les notes des apprenants.
Les apprenants doivent être prêts à commencer à l'heure pour chaque session. Cela signifie arriver prêt à travailler au moins quelques minutes avant le début de la classe.
Les apprenants arrivant après l'heure de début peuvent être admis en classe (à la discrétion de l'enseignant), mais seront marqués comme en retard (impactant la note de présence). Les apprenants arrivant 5 minutes (ou plus) en retard seront marqués comme absents pour toute la classe. Les mêmes règles s'appliquent au retour des pauses.
Toute absence doit être justifiée auprès de la scolarité centrale du programme de l'apprenant. Le justificatif correspondant doit être transmis directement à l’enseignant dans les 7 jours calendaires suivant l’absence. Passé ce délai, les absences seront considérées comme non justifiées par le LSH.
Il incombe à l'apprenant de rattraper tout le travail manqué.
Participation:
Les notes de participation sont basées sur les critères suivants :
Ponctualité : à l'heure et prêt à travailler (non perturbateur dans la gestion du temps)
Motivation : Ne parler qu'en anglais en classe, pas d'utilisation d'outils de traduction
Collaboration : Interagir de manière appropriée pendant les travaux en binôme/groupe
Engagement : Participer de manière appropriée aux activités de la classe entière
Concentration : Rester concentré pendant l'intervention de l'enseignant et sur les tâches en classe
Engagement envers les devoirs : Devoirs rendus à temps et au mieux de leurs capacités
Positif : Contribuer à une atmosphère de classe positive
Intégrité académique:
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.

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: 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 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.
Approches pédagogiques
Pedagogical materials (non-contractual):
Learners will analyse a range of supports from different media sources.
Texts: Learners will be supplied with texts from differing sources and of differing lengths. Learners will be asked to analyse, deconstruct, and/or reconstruct according to the objective at hand. Learners will be asked to produce texts conforming to the genre studied.
Learners 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, learners 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. Learners should take notes on content during all presentation unless otherwise instructed.
Interactive: Any interactive material will require autonomous participation from the learner. However, the learner must signal problems and/or questions to the teacher at the earliest opportunity.
Collaborative: Group projects will be conducted regularly, and learners 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: Learners may be asked to grade each other’s work based on objective criteria, and provide feedback. Learners are encouraged to grade honestly to better help their colleagues.
Vocabulary journaling / revision: Learners should keep a vocabulary log and self-test on learned vocabulary throughout the semester.
Homework: Allows for revision of, and preparation for, content studied in class. Homework assignments are considered mandatory.
