Course preparation (mainly reading exercises and vocabulary exercises) must be completed at home for every session. This preparation at home is crucial for optimizing class interactions and maintaining the right pace. The time required for this homework will vary depending on the student's prior knowledge and experience. As a result, class time can be dedicated to more in-depth interactions, such as discussions, critical analyses, and collaborative activities, fostering active learning.
