4LEA
English LEA courses include English/French translation and oral English, plus various classes in English grammar, civilisation (socio-political history of English-speaking countries), and the language of business, depending on students’ year of study. Students are generally preparing for professions which use English as a means of communication, including international commerce and tourism. Different types of student enrolment are described here. Course organisation 4LEA students have five and a half hours of English per week over the academic year: one hour of civilisation (economic history); two hours of translation, one and a half hours of business English, and one hour of speaking practice (travaux pratiques à l'oral, TPO). The following description concerns only the oral English class, which meets for one hour during each of two semesters (September to January, and February to May), with final exams in January and June, and resits, again for each of the two semesters (sessions de rattrapage), in September. Practical class activities This class focuses on students’ ability to communicate in English, particularly as regards fluency, but also with respect to grammar/vocabulary and pronunciation. Class activities include short student presentations, group activities, projects, and discussion. Presentations are always brief (10-15 minutes) with an interactive follow-up activity. Projects are conducted in groups, and involve outside research which is presented to the class and then written up. Oral class project - Click HERE to see the website now posted!  This
year’s class project will be in the form of a website. This
website will serve as an introduction to LEA English students starting
off the programme. All students will contribute in some way to
the project. View outline and schedule.
