Summary
Providing an environment where students can practice language skills and learn more about English-speaking civilisations, the English course for the second-year preparatory class aims to cultivate the pleasure students take in speaking a foreign language and to develop an essential communication tool for their future professional setting.
Educational goals
From a technical point of view, the objective of teaching English in the preparatory programme is to develop students' autonomy in the areas of oral, personal and interactive expression, oral comprehension, and written expression and comprehension. The course activities are also designed to encourage reflection, broader general and scientific culture, and spark discussion or debate based on current events.

Pedagogy
Students are divided into groups based on their level. Classwork is collaborative: each student works with their partner (pairwork), or with other students within a larger group (for example for debates or for working on projects). This promotes exchanges, communication and the confrontation of ideas. The work increases in complexity, starting with simple and short tasks at the start of a theme and ending with assignments developed towards the end of the theme that require reviewing lessons learned at the beginning of the course. The themes covered in the second year of the preparatory cycle are "City and Urban Life", "Beauty", "Crime, Law and Order" and "Advertising". A variety of support materials are submitted to students: videos, texts from the press, recordings, PowerPoints, grammar and vocabulary exercises, etc. Reviews of and in-depth lessons on grammar are incorporated into the activities. Particular attention is paid to the acquisition of precise vocabulary related to the themes studied.
