    Programme détaillé

    Students will be in charge of a weekly press review, which will allow them to improve their oral skills and ability to analyse documents. Each press review will be followed by a debate. Students will also have to do presentations on specific topical issues they would like to discuss.
    The course, in which articles from the written press will be studied, will mostly concentrate on the use of the Internet in order to familiarize students with various accents and the way current issues are dealt with in the multimedia.
    Students will also regularly be asked to write summaries on specific topics.
    The teacher will make sure they brush up their grammar when needed.
