Course objectives
The main objective of the course is to acquire a plurilingual competence at A2-B1 level of CEFR and to adopt inter-comprehension strategies. In other words, in this course students will learn how to use efficiently their personal linguistic repertoire (= languages they already master at different levels) so they understand languages they have not learnt in formal education or they have not learnt them at all. They will also learn the basics of several languages of your choice (French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech and German), a kind of linguistic survival kit. The course participants will be international (from four universities) which will permit authentic intercultural exchanges discussion forums and other digital tools, they will have possibility to meet by Zoom (optional).
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, student will be able: - to guess the probable meaning of an unknown word/sign that is similar to one in the language they normally use;
- to use an idea of the overall meaning of the short texts and utterances on everyday topics to derive the possible meaning of unfamiliar words/signs from the context;
- exploit their recognition of words/signs to deduce the meaning of unfamiliar words/signs in short expressions used routine everyday context.
