Programme détaillé
During the programme, we will work with vulgarized scientific periodicals (Scientific American, New Scientist in particular) as well as more specialized ones in order to follow the current scientific findings and to find subjects for in-class debates and discussions. Audio and video documents will also be used (documentaries, interviews, science fiction movies). All of the students will be asked to do an oral presentation on a scientific subject that interests them. The goal of the class is to propose an interactive and personalized approach to the use of scientific English for the students who wish to feel more at ease when they have to use the English language in their scientific life. In addition, the reading of scientific periodicals should also interest the students who wish to broaden their scientific knowledge in fields beyond their course of study.
