LCE
This section describes the oral language training for students majoring in English (spécialistes) at the University of Nice.

The English LCE programme (littératures et civilisations étrangères) taught in the English Department involves classes in English-language literature, the civilisation (or socio-political history) of the English-speaking world, English linguistics and French/English translation, and oral English. 

Many students plan to become English teachers, traditionally at the secondary level (see advanced courses), but also increasingly in the primary schools (see early English, anglais précoce). Different types of student enrollment are described here.


Oral English is taught at the first, second, and third year levels in the English Department.  First and second year students have two or three hours of language practice in listening and speaking per week, plus one or two hours of lectures in linguistic theory, including phonetics and language acquisition and use.  Third year students work on oral expression, with classes in intonation and communication.
