Introduction au module

"An introduction and development of intercultural and language skills in an Academic context. It will challenge learners to analyze and respond to contemporary issues within an increasingly globalized world.

Outcome :
Learners will aim to be able to produce academic style documents similar to those used in study at universities abroad. Learners will become familiar with cultural differences in international business and be able to adapt quickly to different working environments.

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. Participating students will be encouraged to apply for an international academic exchange at the end of the first year.

Objectifs de l’apprentissage

• 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.

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.
