Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The main objective of this course is to help students to improve their listening and note-taking skills. This will involve using a variety of recorded materials, including authentic interviews, recordings of classroom lectures, documentaries and other audio material. Students will demonstrate their understanding of the material through written exercises and discussions. So, the course will also offer students an opportunity to explain what they have understood to others.

Assessment methods and criteria

Exam(s) in session

Any session

- In-person

written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )


Additional information:

The final examination will consist of a listening comprehension exam.

It will deal with the material seen in class but students will also be required to listen to and prepare a series of audio files on their own (students of the masters in political sciences, human resources management and anthropology will be assigned additional audio files). The examination will then test the students' comprehension of these recordings, which will be made available on eCampus in the second half of November.

Students will have to prepare and take notes on the listenings file (instructions given in class and posted on e-campus). The students will have to refer to their personal notes in order to answer some of the exam questions.

Students may be assessed by any teacher in charge of the course.

written exam


Additional information:

Examen de compréhension à l'audition dont un volet sera consacré au matériel vu au cours.

Les étudiants devront également préparer un dossier d'écoutes dont le contenu sera mis à leur disposition dans la seconde moitié du mois de novembre sur la platefore eCampus (documents supplémentaires à préparer pour les étudiants des masters en sciences politiques). L'examen traitera donc aussi des contenus de ces fichiers non vus dans le cadre du cours mais travaillés indépendamment.

Il sera demandé aux étudiants de prendre des notes sur le dossier d'écoutes et de les amener lors de l'examen (consignes précises données en classe et disponibles sur eCampus). En effet, une partie de l'examen est constitué de questions auxquelles les étudiants devront répondre sur base de leurs notes.

L'étudiant pourra être évalué par tout enseignant en charge du cours.
