The workshop will seek to further develop the knowledge of the English language, and specifically the language related to psychology, that was learnt during the English Language Course of the CdL in Psychological Sciences and Techniques of which the workshop is a natural continuation.

The aim of the workshop is to provide the basic knowledge and practice necessary for successful group oral presentation of scientific texts in English.

The course objectives will be in two directions:

1.     Written and oral text work

• identification of fundamental ideas and keywords
• (re)organisation of the text aimed at oral presentation

2.     Presentation work

• phonetics and pronunciation

In presence

Individual work

N.B.: An in-presence check of the work done under points 1 and 2 above will be made at each meeting.

No propaedeuticity.

Students are expected to show that they have acquired knowledge of the English language in the specific context of psychology through  individual homework and through the development of a group presentation.
