Introduction au module
"This course is an introduction to the world of entrepreneurship and gives students the opportunity and tools to create a virtual start-up.
Acquis d'apprentissage
The objectives of this course are for students to increase their knowledge of business English through the theme of entrepreneurship, and to apply this knowledge to the creation of a virtual start-up in teams. The course focuses on the four core language skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening) and learners will aim to master the fundamentals of academic English, using a variety of skills and contexts enabling them to apply for top international universities at the end of the first year. The course also aims to improve the student’s confidence in presenting their ideas to others.
Contenu
This course introduces students to the world of business via the themes of entrepreneurship and start-ups. They will learn the basic language and notions of business English and apply this to the creation of a virtual start-up. Every class has some structured language work, using different forms of media, based on the necessary building blocks to launch a new venture (finding the idea, recruitment, funding, marketing, advertising etc). Then, with the additional use of case studies/ articles/ different forms of media, the students will work towards the creation of a start-up in teams. They will work throughout the course to improve their oral, negotiating, presentation and team-based skills.
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.

• Understand the key components of the academic writing genre

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.
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.
