Oral English classes for second year LEA students  include listening comprehension and speaking classes.

Students also study civilisation and translation for a total of  5 hours of English per week.  They have five hours of another language (typically Spanish, Portuguese, or German) but the main focus of their degree is business, including core courses in economics, law, and management.


Oral English programme

Second year students have two hours of oral English per week, both with the lecteurs.
  • Comprehension: one hour listening comprehension with the lecteurs
  • TPO: one hour of speaking with the lecteurs

Class activities

COMP     Comprehension classes take place in ordinary classrooms.  Students work on listening exercises using worksheets with prelistening, listening, andpostlistening exercises; teachers have  answer sheets and transcripts. 

TPO           Speaking classes take place in an ordinary classroom.  Speaking activities are organised in pairs and groups to encourage participation, and students give presentations which are important for their continuous assessment grade.


Timetable and teachers
 
All groups meet on Monday or Friday and each lecteur has the same group for COMP and TPO.

To do

This class will be coordinated by Ger.  

In recent years, this class has been run in a way similar to first year LEA and LCE classes - comprehension on general topics, and TPO based on student presentations.  In a more dark and distant past, however, an effort was made to link the oral classes to the students' civilisation lectures, which focus on British history in the first semester and American in the second.  It might be time to return to this format, where comprehension and TPO topics are related to the semester's civilisation syllabus; you will need a syllabus from the civilisation lecturer.

Semester 1.  British postwar history.  Lecturer: Didier Revest.

Semester 2. American postwar history.  Lecturer: Anne Debray.

1. Print and copy last year's materials from the archives in Shared Documents on the computer in 102.  Use these as a guide for preparing this year's classes.

2. COMP
a) Materials. Find new materials for this semester.  Your criteria include:
  • compatibility with civilisation syllabus
  • comprehensibility: intermediate level, some can be quite hard
  • availability of similar pieces for exams - you will need 6-8 exam exercises for this semester.  These can be later portions of a longer piece, other episodes of a series, or related in other ways.  It's best to select them at the start.
  • number of lessons: one per week, leaving one or two slots open for practice exams.
b) Preparation. Record your selections, then distribute to 2LEA teachers for preparation.  You will need a transcript, student worksheet, and answer sheet/lesson plan for each piece.  Divide up the work so that all your teachers are involved.

c) Administration. Print up your student pack and teacher pack for Shona to check.  Get photocopies made.  Make your master CD and tapes for your teachers.  Add your syllabus to the Oral English website.

d) Coordination. Plan and conduct an introductory meeting with your teachers and Shona to make sure everyone understands the class goals, format, syllabus, materials, and evaluation procedures.

e) Evaluation. Record exam pieces and organise the transcription and writing of exercises with your teachers.

TPO
Revise last year's syllabus to complement your Comprehension syllabus.
