Descriptif
This course is aimed at students with an advanced level of English.
Have you ever felt the urge to write your own editorial about the latest events, to express more than your joy at the victory of your favourite football team, to analyze a movie you have seen before anyone else? Have you dreamt of carrying out interviews with celebrities or writing a portrait of lesser known characters whose work seems incredibly important to you? Would you like to make the latest economic news easier to understand for non-specialists or to explain why a scientist was awarded the Nobel Prize?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then this course is for you.

Programme détaillé
For the duration of this period, you will become journalists and the group’s task will be to produce different types of media: articles for the written press, for online papers and blogs, but also multi-media productions using sound, video and image.
In order to achieve this, we will examine material in the classroom and build on our collective analyses. We will debate the issues you want to write about. We will do role-games and practise presenting the news in many different ways, including parodies and talk-shows.
