4LEA

Oral English classes for fourth year LEA students focus on speaking.

Students also study business English 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

Fourth year students have only one hour of oral English per week.

TPO: one hour of speaking with the lecteurs

Class activities

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

Timetable and teachers

There are two groups for 4LEA, both on Monday.

Evaluation

To do

This class will be coordinated by David.

Like the third years, 4LEA students are generally quite fluent in English and mature in outlook, so this oral class needs to be well-organised and challenging.

4LEA students have lectures in business English and a Semester 2 oral on business topics; preparation for this oral should figure in the syllabus, particularly in Semester 2.

Last year's students did a newspaper project, which could be expanded and re-run. Other possible topics include

researching jobs for LEA students in the Nice area
exploring English-language resources in the area (libraries, museums etc.)
creating a website for LEA English students (describing the programme, interviewing students and teachers)
writing a introduction to Nice University for foreign students

3LEA students will also have a project, so check with Lecteur E to make sure you don't overlap.

1. Look at last year's materials from the archives in Shared Documents on the computer in 102 to get an idea of how things are organised. Tom was in charge, so check with him for questions of detail.

2. Design a new syllabus for this semester.
a) Materials. Find new materials for this semester.

b) Preparation. Record any audio/video materials, then divide between teachers for preparation.

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 if necessary. 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.
