METHODOLOGY

Pair work and work in the class plenum

The workshop is based on the Moving Languages (MovLa) method, a dynamic, multisensory and immersive approach that enables learners to acquire a lot of knowledge in a short amount of time.

Key features of the method:

• The course is conducted entirely in Luxembourgish. The focus is on oral expression and comprehension.

• Vocabulary is introduced and reinforced through dynamic rituals and varied activities: role plays, real-life scenarios, movement, songs, rhythm games...

• The classroom is arranged without tables, with chairs in a semicircle to allow for movement and interaction.

• Each week, learners follow the storyline of a single evolving narrative thread.

• Participants adopt a fictional identity which they keep throughout the course, promoting spontaneous and uninhibited interactions.

• Written work is included occasionally through exercises in a weekly activity booklet.

COURSE TYPE

This workshop (3 hours a day, five days a week, for 8 weeks) is based on the work schemes drawn up on the basis of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

COURSE MATERIALS

A weekly activity booklet is provided.

EVALUATION

The assessment will be formative and the learner will not receive a skills assessment at the end of the semester. At the end of the workshop a "Certificat de participation" [attendance certificate] will be issued to the learners.
