Retour en début de pageStudy objectives

The preparatory year provides students with the basic tools in linguistics, literature and culture of either one Germanic and one Romance language or two Germanic languages, to help them sucessfully follow the Master [60] in Modern Languages and Literatures : General [60.0] or the Master [120] in Modern Languages and Literatures : General [120.0] .

The specific programme for two Germanic languages /both languages studied (one Germanic and one Romance language) includes specialised courses aimed at developing four skills :

  • Communication ;
  • Linguistic skills (study of grammer and its elements) ;
  • Literary skills (history of literature, analysis and understanding of literary texts) ;
  • A cultural knowledge in the wider sense of the word (study of the « civilisation » of the countries where these languges are spoken : historical data and contemporary events).

The programme also includes a basic training of general courses.


Retour en début de pageEvaluation

Depending on the nature of the course and the teaching methods, the evaluation will take different forms. Some courses will involve oral and/or written evaluations (held during one of the three exam sessions: January – June – August/September)), whilst the evaluation of seminars will involve more substantial student participation as well as assessment of individual course work. Evaluation methods will be explained at the beginning of each course.

Those exams relating to courses on communication skills will evaluate the student's level, i.e. the practical use of the language in relevant situations.

Teaching methods are evaluated in accordance with the current University regulations (see General regulations concerning examinations). Students may also find additional information regarding the evaluation of courses in the course description.
