||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Examination | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The exam in the subject consists of two parts:
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Course content and structure | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The course is built up around two dimensions – content and
language. The content dimension builds upon knowledge and
understanding acquired in the 1st semester with a view to further
exploring the interaction between the global and local contexts in
French-speaking parts of the world. In the second semester, focus
is on exploring, in a comparative perspective, some of the key
institutions, moments and figures that can illuminate our
understanding of how a particular context encounters globalisation.
Successive backward views in history will be introduced with a view
to better comprehend present taken-for-granted values and practices
as well as cooperation and conflicts betweenselected Francophone
parts of the world.Topics include state and nation formation;
colonialism, political, economic and educational institutions;
social security and religion.
The language dimension is aimed at improving the students’ grammar skills, pronunciation and fluency as well as their listening and comprehension skills. Emphasis will also be placed on learning and exercising phrases needed in order to make presentations and participate in class discussions. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Teaching methods | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| All teaching and reading will be in French. A combination of lectures, class discussions and student presentations will develop students’ knowledge and ability to analyse and understand current cultural and social processes in the chosen region. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Feedback during the teaching period | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The principal way for students to receive
feedback on their readings and work for this course (Content and
Language dimensions) is through active participation in classes.
Classes will incorporate regular tests and interactive exercises
(MCTs, problem solving, student presentations) as well as written
assignments allowing students to measure their learning progress
continuously and prepare for their final exam. Students are
therefore expected to attend all classes and to come prepared and
ready to participate actively.
The lecturers will also strive to be readily available for one-to-one dialogues during breaks and following each class session. |
