Guided autonomy with tutor
This type of independent study provides the opportunity to:
- learn in a manner adapted to one’s personal needs
- use tools to analyse those needs, plan objectives and assess one’s progress
- become familiar with new learning strategies and find appropriate material
It is designed for students at A1/A2 or above and consists of:
- 3 interviews per semester (1st and 3rd interview: 60 minutes; 2nd interview: 30 minutes)
- 2 periods per week in the Multimedia Centre (1 registered period and 1 free-access period)
- personal work (agreed on with the tutor in accordance with your personal objectives)
Pedagogical support includes:
- the 3 interviews, which serve to set up a study plan in accordance with your personal objectives and to provide both an intermediate and final assessment of your progress
- access to teacher input during the registered session in the Multimedia Centre
- registration to a Moodle platform (for all practical information)
- online back-up via the PlurieL website and/or email contact with your tutor
Although some of the tasks can be completed at home, those requiring access to multimedia material have to be done in the Multimedia Centre. (Room CE 2 347)
Learning through guided autonomy is an individual process. The role of your tutor is to guide you when planning and managing your study within the structure of the module.
Level required: from A1/A2 (Description)
Duration of module: 12 weeks per semester
Periods in the Multimedia Centre: opportunity to choose from a large number of EMA periods
Registration: Direct access to online registration
Independent learning – no registration required
To allow you to continue to learn a language and communication skills without joining a module, the Language Centre offers free-access periods in the Multimedia Centre (EMA):
- Remote access: use our PlurieL learning platform to connect online at any time.
The EMA contains resources that have been specially designed for autonomous language learning. It is organized in such a way as to allow you to locate easily activities corresponding to your level and to your needs. The EMA will provide you with information and tools to help you manage your learning.
Tandems are organised and set up within the framework of the Tandem Program of the Arts Faculty/EFLE.
- Tandem is two people of different mother tongues who meet regularly to teach each other their respective languages
- Objective: to progress independently in a language, not only by language training but also by cultural discoveries
- The two partners agree to a specific period of time and choose the pace, meeting place and content of their language learning.
Tandem is a good way of supplementing free access periods in the Multimedia Centre.
