Introduction au module

Movies inside and out introduces students to the discussion in English of different approaches to the language of movies. What is a movie? It is a story related to an audience thanks to sound and image that together build towards ending. A movie is a text.

Finalités de l’apprentissage

Working in English with an experienced teacher as guide, students are encouraged to develop an individual perspective on seeing a movie and to share their ideas in English during classroom sessions. Each class students are provided with a movie as a noteworthy example of a movie treatment of a particular theme such as drama, comedy, crime or science fiction. Each genre is analyzed in terms of its take on the world.
After being a form of popular culture for much of the twentieth century, movies have today become legitimate objects of mental inquiry. We therefore explore how issues that concern the audience of specific movies (i.e. heroic fantasy, suspense films, road movies) appear through the eyes of various filmmakers.

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.

Objectifs de l’apprentissage

Students should be able to:
• Understand the key components of the academic writing genre
• Produce basic academic texts in terms of organisation, patterns of argument, cohesion, formality and process.
• 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

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 d'UV/UE finale (CC+CF2) est plafonnée à 13/20 maximum.
