Language skills according to different CEFR level groups:

A1
Can establish basic social contact by using the simplest everyday polite forms of: greetings and farewells; introductions; saying please, thank you, sorry etc.
A2/B1
Has a repertoire of basic language, which enables him/her to deal with everyday situations with predictable content, though he/she will generally have to compromise the message and search for words.
Can produce brief everyday expressions in order to satisfy simple needs of a concrete type: personal details, daily routines, wants and needs, requests for information.
Can use basic sentence patterns and communicate with memorised phrases, groups of a few words and formulae about themselves and other people, what they do, places, possessions etc.
Has a limited repertoire of short memorised phrases covering predictable survival situations; frequent breakdowns and misunderstandings occur in non-routine situations.
Has enough language to get by, with sufficient vocabulary to express him/herself with some hesitation and circumlocutions on topics such as family, hobbies and interests, work, travel, and current events, but lexical limitations cause repetition and even difficulty with formulation at times.

B2
Can express him/herself clearly and without much sign of having to restrict what he/she wants to say.
Has a sufficient range of language to be able to give clear descriptions, express viewpoints and develop arguments without much conspicuous searching for words, using some complex sentence forms to do so.
Has a sufficient range of language to describe unpredictable situations, explain the main points in an idea or problem with reasonable precision and express thoughts on abstract or cultural topics such as music and films.

C1
Can select an appropriate formulation from a broad range of language to express him/herself clearly, without having to restrict what he/she wants to say.

Sports Activities 2

The sports course allows students to engage physically and mentally on a regular basis in a fun, supportive environment, fostering self-improvement and self-awareness.

The courses are organized into sequences of 4 to 5 sessions of the same sport, depending on the practice location. A schedule of the different sports is given to students at the beginning of the year (appendix "Yearly Programming ...../....."). It is accompanied by a document indicating the location of the courses according to the trimester (as the facilities are shared with the Lazaristes school), the day of the week, and the time slot (appendix "Sports course locations year ...../......").

The general structure of a sequence:

A discovery phase: it gets students "moving," allows them to take bearings, and build meaning through an initial representation of the activity.
A learning phase ensuring sufficient training time to achieve objectives and thus acquire skills.
An evaluation phase allowing all students, regardless of their level, to demonstrate their ability to act in a situation presenting a certain level of complexity.

TD : 20h00
Written And Oral Communication 2

This course aims to make students aware of their learning capacity and to raise their awareness of the learning process. It leads students to reflect on their learning experiences and identify the best practices working for them. It also provides self-management tools to improve their learning abilities. The work axes are learning reflection, organizing information, time management, and group learning.
