Les cours d’UE 5 LV1 commencent le lundi 21 septembre 2020.

Teaching Unit Objective

To be able to follow 3rd year undergraduate classes in specialized disciplinary subjects taught in the chosen foreign modern language studied (semesters 5 and 6).

General organization

This teaching unit is an integral part of the first four semesters of any undergraduate degree (licence L1 and L2). In it, students will acquire or develop general and specialized language skills in a modern language chosen amongst those offered at the University of Poitiers (English, Spanish, Italian and German). During enrolment, students must take a preliminary diagnostic aptitude test in order to distribute students into adapted language level groups. These levels correspond to those defined by the Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFRL).
The teaching unit (UE) is hybrid and involves 24 hours of lessons distributed into 16,5 hours of on-campus face to face classes and 7,5 hours of on-line assignments that take place on the University on-line Moodle platform called UPdago. These are called “APP” which stands for “Autres Pratiques Pédagogiques”.

Detailed organization

For levels A0-A1 and A2, class content, whether on-line or on-campus, will focus on general language skills. The main focus of this teaching unit is acquiring basic written and aural comprehension skills as well as beginners written and oral production skills. Additional resources and support (language workshops and tutoring) are also made available to help students progress faster.

Class content includes communication activities, grammar, vocabulary and cultural awareness acquisition with a focus on the use of authentic audio, video and written documents.

B1 levels and above: these classes focus primarily on developing students’ autonomy in all language skills mainly through the use of authentic audio, video and written documents that progressively focus on special-purpose language to help students acquire the specialized language skills necessary to their subject of study.

If you are in the process of reorienting your studies and you have been asked to take the diagnostic evaluation test, you can do so on the on-line platform UPdago. Log on to UPdago with your on-line service (SEL) user ID and password once you have clicked on the following link:

• UE5 Langue Vivante (LV) : test de prépositionnement en anglais L2

Attendance is mandatory for classes and evaluations. In case of unavoidable absence, you must contact with your teacher within 48 hours and provide him/her and your faculty’s administration with written justification for the absence (official summons, medical certificate, death certificate of a parent…) that a substitute test may rapidly be organized to replace any missed exams.
