Anglais - Interviewing the World - Semestre impair
Description
Intitulé sur Lansadmin : ANG-Interviewing
At the university, we tend to focus on learning from texts and professors and we sometimes forget that everyone has something to teach us and a story to tell. In this class, you will be turning your attention to the people around you while digging deeper into a subject that interests you. In other words, you will be interviewing people (experts and non-experts) about a specific topic you are passionate about. This is going to require becoming an expert yourself in order to be able to ask the right questions and guide the conversations. With these conversations, you get to create a podcast! This is where you will be presenting your topic, along with your interviews and conclusions. You will also be giving a live interview to another student about the creation of your podcast.
This course is recommended for students with a B1 level or higher in both comprehension and production language skills.
Listening to podcasts in any language is not a requirement, but you might enjoy this course more if you already like lidoing so.
Things you might want to consider before signing up to this course:
- an interview is not just reading a list of questions aloud to someone!,
- you will be interviewing people OUTSIDE of your English class,
- you will be sharing your podcast with the rest of the class,
- you will be working on your own, in small groups and occasionally, in a big group,
- you will be assessed on both roles: the interviewer and the interviewee,
- some of the classes will be asynchronous.
