Brexit:

is a British escape from the EU worth considering ? (Niveau B2+)

Work plan

Below is the process that will lead you to the final task. For each step, you will work on your own, at your own rhythm. You will have to take notes, re-organise them, and pick up useful vocabulary. Of course, the teacher and sometimes the assistant will be there to guide you and help. Please fell free to ask.

You will be tested at regular interval to make sure you are not getting lost (

All the documents will be printed when possible, but mainly available on the school network + elyco.

PS : of course, this is real work. You will develop reading and listening skills as well as writing and speaking. You will also train your autonomy and responsibility. But of course you may work with (a) partner(s), in English of course !
