Teaching methods
The course will take an active form (interactive lessons, mini case studies, analysis of authentic documents, micro-simulations) and will continually make the most of the direct experiences of the participants and the interaction between the students. Classroom activities will be accompanied by the use of authentic materials and computer presentations. The course will constantly draw on the General and Social Pedagogy course and on other courses in the module. The learning process will be closely monitored during classroom activities through feedback. <br />
<br />
Students will be evaluated by oral exam during which they will be expected to apply the content covered and the abilities fostered during classroom activities to a concrete case. <br />
