Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Students will be required to carry out an individual research project, with regular discussion of progress and problems (in terms of design and implementation). The results will be presented in the form of a written paper following the model of a scientific article.
In addition to pursuing individual seminar work, students will be invited to take part in the following types of learning activities:
[1] Optional sessions about general topics related to conducting research. These sessions (taking place in French or English) are open to all students taking a research seminar course irrespective of the language chosen.
(a) General sessions:
- Open science
- The process of publishing scientific work (submission, peer-review, revision)
- Q&A session on the use of Zotero; students will need to watch video tutorials prior to this session
- Introduction to a genetic approach to literary studies: (transcription of manuscripts, comparative analysis of sources, scholarly apparatus, explaining specific terminology, scholarly editions in the digital age)
- General introduction to qualitative and quantitative research methods in linguistics
(b) Hands-on sessions, preparing students for the student symposium (see [2]):
- Abstract writing
- Preparing visual aids (such as PowerPoint slide shows) for a conference presentation
- Oral presentation
[2] Students from all languages and disciplines will be able to present their research project at a student symposium, to which all staff and BA3 students of the Modern languages department will be invited as well.
Students will have to prepare an abstract in French or English, which will be handed out to the audience, and will get 10 minutes to present their research in French or English, using visual aids. After each talk, there will be a 5-minute Q&A.
The student symposium will be organized before the May-June exam session so students can incorporate the feedback they received into their research paper.
