Course Description
The course consists of lectures and exercises and is concerned with the development of
the students in all dimensions of language proficiency and in oral and written
communicative competence in everyday life and in situations concerned with their social,
cultural and professional environment.
In the lectures students will identify the communicative objectives and the grammatical
structures and practice them. Their communicative language competence will be
activated in the performance of various language activities, involving reception (oral and
written), production, interaction and mediation, in relation to texts in oral or written
form.
The material will also be discussed and enlarged in the exercises lessons in order to
develop those basic linguistic activities:
� Reception: silent reading and following the media.
� Production: oral presentations, written reports, letters, opinions,...
� Interaction: learning to interact in oral or written exchanges which production and
reception alternate.
� Mediation: (re)processing an existing oral or written text.
� Translation, or interpretation, paraphrase, summary,...
The emphasis is on oral communication using every day vocabulary and structure, but
also listening and reading comprehension as well as the accurate writing of simple texts
are part of the programme as a whole.
Furthermore they will have the opportunity to have contact with the language spoken by
a native speaker.
Exercises are not compulsory but they are vital in order to achieve the goal of the
semester. Their attendance is therefore highly recommended.
