Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Provide clear and accurate information
    • Communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to a qualified scientific partner
  • Grow personally and professionally
    • Have developed, in the context of chemistry, generic skills that are applicable in many other contexts, particularly in the use of the English language, scientific programming, and safety and risk in the laboratory

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the term of this course, students will be capable to:
- Reactivate the knowledge acquired beforehand (grammar & vocabulary); 
- Develop some communicative ability which will allow them to face daily
- life situations in the laboratory and in other scientific contexts;
- read and understand the overall meaning of popularised scientific texts in English.
- to communicate in English, in writing and orally, on science-related topics;
- work autonomously on audio documents (B1-B2 level);
- build vocabulary linked to science;
- put into practice the basic rules of English pronunciation;
- create science-oriented works linked to their field of study.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

- Revising the basic structures of the English language; 
- Developing some communicative ability by calling upon the four language skills (listening comprehension; reading comprehension; written expression; oral expression); 
- Reading and written and oral commenting on various popularised scientific texts and articles
- Developing vocabulary linked to the field of chemistry

Compulsory course attendance. Absences are accepted in case of force majeure (disease, death of a relative, etc.). Scheduling clashes or paid work do not constitute a case of force majeure for this course. What constitutes a force majeure can be further discussed with the lecturer and, if required, the faculty authorities.

Detailed description of activities
Home and/or in-class assignments:
- general and scientific vocabulary
- grammar
- presentations and discussions
- short written assignments
- listening comprehension
- final oral presentation (element from the periodic table or more broadly topic related to chemistry in history or in the news) + peer assessment
- final written report (linked to the presentation) + peer assessment

Not attending one or several activities (theory and/or practice) and/or failing to take one or several assignments result in a fail grade (0/100) for the whole term.
