Luxembourgish B1.1 Guided autonomous learning

COURSE TYPE

The AGLL course will take place exclusively online (in Google Classroom), with the exception of the final exam, which will be held face-to-face at INLL. We strongly recommend that you use Google Chrome as your browser.

-          There will be 6 compulsory courses, which will take place on predefined dates. The first will be the KICK-OFF (information session on the course). For the other classes, each participant will choose a half-hour slot between 6pm and 10pm. The last will be the test.

-          Participants work independently with the book and grammar (PDFs and videos provided) as well as the exercises in the virtual classroom. So everyone can study autonomously at chosen dates and times.

-          Participants complete exercises in writing, reading, listening and speaking. These are recorded in the virtual classroom. Two oral exercises in pairs are included in the program. Learners organize their work among themselves using a document available to all.

-          Each learner receives individual corrections.

-          Once a week, the teacher will be available to answer learners' questions or simply to practice speaking.

The course:

-          offers fully distance learning on "Google Meet" (integrated into the classroom)

-          is based on the work schemes drawn up on the basis of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

All learners are assessed and will be issued a certificate outlining their skills level.
