Prerequisites :
For the Bachelor in Information and Communication :

For the Bachelor in Political Sciences: General :

For the Bachelor in Sociology and Anthropology :


Co-requisites :
None

Course contents :
The courses examine different aspects of society and aim to broaden the lexical field, in particular vocabulary relating to economics, politics, current affairs, work, social affairs and culture.
Each theme will be developed during one or two courses. These will enable to:
- develop reading or listening comprehension skills through recent articles or reports on the chosen themes;
- improve written production through writing and occasional revision of grammar;
- use the vocabulary and grammar studied in context;
- develop written and oral production skills through essays and debates on the studied topics.



Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
There are two hours of Dutch per week.

The two hour-course is mainly devoted to the activities of:
a) reading: texts in the syllabus and the book « Hoe ik talent voor het leven kreeg » de Rodaan al-Galidi (édition Leeslicht, 2017, 134p.).
b) written expression exercises and audition/viewing of films and reports, focusing on everyday life situations and related to current events and partly to themes specific to the chosen section.
c) Oral expression (permanent non-certificated evaluation, which may work in the student's favor at the end of the academic year)

If a part of the teaching activities cannot be carried out face-to-face for sanitary reasons, instructions will be sent via Moodle / Teams and the active participation of each student in these activities will be expected. Any modification to the lesson plan (contents, calendar,...) due to external circumstances will be communicated via Moodle.

An exemption test (and not a level test) is organized at the beginning of the first term, the week of 20 September 2021, to allow the strongest students to be exempted from the course.
Please note that an overall mark of 16/20 must be obtained in order to be exempted from the course and that it is not possible to present this test at another time.



Assessment methods and criteria :
The examination covers all the subjects studied in class, of which the syllabus provides only a support.

A/ The written off-session exam of the first term takes place on Monday 13 December 2021.
It will cover all the subjects studied during the first term.

B/ The written off-session exam of the second term will take place out of session on Monday 9 May 2022.
It will cover all the subjects studied during the second term.

In the second term, students will also be required to make an oral presentation in groups which will count for the final assessment. The modalities of this presentation are explained at the beginning of the syllabus (mondelinge opdracht voor semester 2 -
Creatie van een product of TV-uitzending) and will be explained in class/on Teams. The groups of 2-3 students must be formed by Monday 21 February 2022 at the latest.

The proportion for term 2 is 80% for the written exam and 20% for the oral presentation.

The final proportion is 50% for term 1 and 50% for term 2.
Students who get 10/20 or higher will keep their result. The student will therefore not be able to re-sit an exam/oral presentation for which he/she has obtained a mark of 10/20 or higher.

At the end of the year, the student obtains a mark for the whole year.
In case the student has not obtained the average (for the 2 terms) of 10/20 in June, he/she is obliged to retake the term(s) for which he/she has not obtained 10/20 in August. Please note that a student who fails for term 2 must represent each part for which he or she has failed (written exam and/or oral presentation).


If the sanitary conditions do not allow for face-to-face examinations, the modes of evaluation will be hybrid. The exams will also be organized off session and the grade weight will remain the same.
If distance learning is used in term 2, you will be asked to make a group presentation via TEAMS. Of course, we will not expect you to be "together" then, but to prepare something in group which you will present via Teams. These oral presentations may of course be subject to a question for examination. Any changes to the assessments, due to external circumstances, will be communicated via Moodle.

Please note that students are required to follow all information and instructions posted on Moodle. Failure to do so will result in failure with a 0 for the part(s) concerned.
