Introduction au module
This course will introduce and develop intercultural and language skills in an Academic context while providing an introduction to the stated theme of the course. Learners will be challenged to analyse and respond appropriately to contemporary issues within an increasingly globalized world.
Learners will aim to master the fundamental mechanics of purposeful communication in English. They will look to identify and understand; and appropriately employ; the rhetorical choices (in terms of claims, evidence, reasoning, organisation, style) in a text, and the likely effect on intended and unintended readers.
Learners will improve their ability to interact confidently in English in a variety of common, academic, and professional situations, (transactions, discussions, presentations) in addition to producing accompanying documents fit for purpose.
Finalité d'apprentissage (Bloc de compétences)
- LG2 Avoir la capacité de gérer l'incertitude et la complexité avec précision et rigueur
- LG5 Être ouvert (d'esprit) aux autres, au monde et à la recherche d'un impact sociétal positif

Système de notation et modalités de rattrapage
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 de module (UV/UE) finale (CC+CF2) est plafonnée à 13/20.

Règlement du module
Students are expected to show self-respect, respect for others, and give their best at all times.

Students should arrive to class ready to participate with the necessary materials
AI STATEMENT
PUNCTUALITY STATEMENT
A
Classroom expectations:
The participation grade will be 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 your ability.
• Positive: Contributing to positive class atmosphere
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.
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
