• Course title: Let's talk über l'espace: Trilingual Course: (EN, DE, FR)
• Number of ECTS: 3
• Course code: UL_UNIVERSEH-17
• Module(s): Academic language courses
• Language: EN, FR, DE
• Mandatory: No

The goal is “to enhance the learning of languages, so more young people are able “to speak at least two European languages in addition to their mother tongue. The themes explored are all space-related (cooperation vs. space race, demographics of the space industry, space and sustainability, environmental aspects, innovation…).   

 • Develop reading and listening comprehension skills as well as speaking/presentation skills in their two focus languages by one half level of the CEFR (Common European Framework of References for Languages). For example, a German student might choose to focus on French and English and in so doing could improve their French from level B1 to B 1.1 and their English from C 1.1 to C1.2.• Identify and explain the parallels that can exist between different languages in order to improve the participants' language learning strategies and foster the emergence of a translanguaging awareness.• Acquire and use space-related vocabulary in an academic context.• Form an opinion upon how European values and space activities are working together.• Use the SDGs of the UN to evaluate space activities in three general areas. 

 The language focus of this trilingual course will be decided at the beginning of the course and depends on the course participants. It will be co-taught by French and English native speakers, who are multilingual language teachers and fluent in German. We will include activities that develop the reading comprehension and speaking in particular. The topics we will explore are all space related (cooperation vs. space race, demographics of the space industry, space and sustainability, environmental aspects, innovation…). Participants will thus familiarise themselves with a transdisciplinary approach by dealing with themes that hardly ever appear within their respective curricula. Unlike a traditional language course, this course does not focus on the systematic acquisition of grammar but aims to highlight the parallels that can exist between different languages in order to improve the participants' language learning strategies and foster the emergence of a translanguaging awareness.

Portfolio that will be worked on from beginning until the end.

Online asynchronous (6 sessions) -> learning resources are designed to be accessed at any time.Online synchronous (12 sessions) on Thursdays from 8.30 to 10.00.• Start date: 10/10/2024 | End date: 31/01/2025.—Contact: universeh@uni.lu

In the first semester, the course will focus on issues of academic language, i.e., how to use English properly in academic contexts. In particular, you will learn how to: apply an appropriate academic style; be sufficiently formal in how you express yourself; write in a clear authorial voice; use accurate and convincing language; construct sentences according to readers’ expectations; use academically suitable grammatical structures; make your writing clear and transparent for your readers; reduce wordiness, i.e., be concise and to the point; adhere to citation conventions and the principles of academic honesty; use appropriate tenses when citing and writing about research; connect sentences and ideas properly to each other; use signal words and phrases effectively; enlarge your vocabulary and variety of sentence structures; demonstrate lexical variety; avoid typical pitfalls in grammar and expression; s organize the review and editing process efficiently.

As a researcher, you need not only compelling data and ideas, but also skills to communicate your research effectively through writing in English. Such academic writing follows its own conventions in terms of both the language used and the way texts are organized. Within your MA program, you are, therefore, offered this mandatory four-semester course that familiarizes you with what it means to produce a viable academic text.In this course, we will, on the one hand, discuss ways to effectively plan your writing and to successfully complete an assignment. On the other hand, we are going to analyze important strategies for developing powerful English sentences, paragraphs, and texts that meet the typical expectations of academic readers. We will focus on the types of assignments (of different lengths and formats) you are supposed to complete throughout the MA program, and we will eventually consider how to write your MA thesis in the final year.Overall, you will become more confident in writing about your own research and the work of others. For this purpose, you will be given the opportunity to improve assignments through drafting and redrafting stages and will receive regular feedback on your work. Furthermore, peer review will be integral to the course, with constructive criticism and collaborative critique taking place in a supportive environment.

Participation, in-class tests, written assignment.

Ce cours a pour but de renforcer vos connaissances et vos pratiques en langue française orale et écrite afin de faciliter vos prises de parole et vos productions d’écrits, pas seulement dans le cadre de vos études mais aussi dans les situations de communication avec d’autres personnes.

 

CAMPUS BELVALDescription : Comment « parler », « lire » et « écrire » mieux et plus facilement en français ?D’abord en s’intéressant aux « sons » et en les mettant ensemble pour dire des mots mais aussi en étudiant les lettres et les groupes de lettres qui permettent d’écrire ces sons. Ensuite en mettant ces mots ensemble pour faire des phrases qui ont du sens.Parler et écrire, c’est s’adresser à autrui, parfois dans le but de le convaincre, de le conduire à adopter notre point de vue. Dans ce cas, il s’agit d’être capable d’argumenter. L’argumentation se pratique à l’oral mais également à l’écrit, ce qui est très utile pour vos études universitaires, lorsque vous devrez démontrer ce que vous affirmez.Enfin, parler, c’est aussi s’adresser à d’autres personnes, c’est-à-dire savoir comment parler et savoir utiliser telle ou telle manière de parler (« registres » courant, soutenu, familier) ; sans oublier que la langue ne sert pas seulement à communiquer mais qu’elle révèle aussi une manière de penser le monde et de se conduire dans le monde (pas de la même manière partout = interculturalité).Ce cours va vous familiariser avec ces différents aspects de l’oral et de l’écrit du français en vous proposant des activités qui vous permettront d’apprendre à :- poser votre voix,- oser prendre la parole (en particulier en public),- produire – à l’oral et à l’écrit – des mots, des énoncés et des phrases adaptées aux circonstances ; dans des situations d’interactions partagées,- argumenter en sachant utiliser les connecteurs logiques adaptés.Il vous amènera également à approfondir et affiner à la fois vos connaissances linguistiques et votre pratique de la langue française orale et écrite, par des écoutes et des visionnages répétés de séquences vidéo d’une part, par des lectures et des productions d’écrits d’autre part. Vous serez donc amenés à étudier aussi la langue écrite en lisant et en analysant des commentaires, des explications, des articles qui portent sur les séquences vidéo proposées.Ensemble, vous y pratiquerez des activités ludiques et informatives qui vous feront – « faire des liens » entre vos possibilités de communication courante en français et les pratiques de langue (orale et écrite) académiques, nécessaires à votre cursus (et/ou à votre vie personnelle et professionnelle) ;- progresser ainsi en langue française.

Pour obtenir les 3 ECTS, l’évaluation repose sur 3 aspects (note totale sur 20) :- Participation active aux cours en présentiel (prises de parole, interactions orales avec l’enseignante et les pairs) (Note/5) ;- Rendu des devoirs écrits proposés dans les délais impartis (Note/10) ;- Devoir à faire sur place à l’avant-dernière session (portant sur une partie des notions étudiées) corrigé en commun à la dernière session (Note/5).
