Course Content

This course represents an introduction to a couple of Master courses, i.e. Acquisition du français langue étrangère and Communication en contexte plurilingue. Three general subjects of applied linguistics, concentrated on French, are central in this course : (1) applied and theoretical linguistics, (2) multilingualism and language contact, (3) the acquisition and teachin of foreign languages.

This course also contains a practical approach because it allows students to learn how to work with a couple of instruments of applied linguistics, and to use them on data.

Learning Outcomes

General competencies

Students can recognize, situate and explain the concepts and terms from the applied linguistics literature exposed in the lectures, and they can apply this theoretical knowledge to various case studies.
The students can describe and analyse case studies, based on the theory exposed during the lectures.
The students are capable of process data using the instruments exposed during the lectures.
Students take notes during the lectures in order to stimulate their reflective thinking.
The students pay attention to their mastery of the French language and the register used during the lectures and the oral exam.

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Oral Exam determines 60% of the final mark.
Other Exam determines 40% of the final mark.

Within the Oral Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

Mondeling examen with a relative weight of 60 which comprises 60% of the final mark.

Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

Examen Andere (paper) with a relative weight of 40 which comprises 40% of the final mark.

Additional info regarding evaluation

The final grade is the sum of the partial grades, provided that these partial grades are not lower than 08/20. If this is the case for one partial grade, the final grade will also be lower than a 08/20, regardless of the other grade.
Absence for one of the two compulsory evaluations results in an absence for the final grade.
A partial result of 10/20 or higher is transferred to the second exam period. If the student still wants to participate to the partial evaluations during the second exam period in order to replace the partial result, he needs to send an email to the Professor before the summer holiday.
A partial result cannot be transferred to a following academic year.
Once a student has notified his / her wish to participate to the second evaluation in August/September in order to replace a partial result, he/ she irrevocably loses this partial result.

Allowed unsatisfactory mark

The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
