Les étudiants de première année de BTS CI ont fait leur rentrée jeudi 7 septembre. La rentrée des étudiants de deuxième année a eu lieu le lendemain, le vendredi 8 septembre.
Photo de groupe
Ce temps a permis de faire un point sur les éléments suivants : le règlement intérieur, les différentes matières, les épreuves du BTS (épreuves ponctuelles et en CCF). Mais il a permis aussi aux étudiants d’échanger sur le stage à l’étranger qui est un moment fort de la formation et de réaliser des activités à la fois ludiques et favorisant l’acquisition de compétences communicationnelles.
Team-bonding and team-building activities
Mrs Declerck has proposed two games to our students.
Learning is fun !
The game Two Truths and a Lie
One student has to give three statements about himself or herself to the rest of the group. Two of the statements given should be true and one should be a lie. Then, the rest of the group has to guess which statement is false. Once everyone has made their guess, the statement which is a lie is revealed by the student.
The game Time’s up
It’s played over three rounds. The class was divided into two groups.
The aim of the game is to guess expressions.
One of the idiomatic expressions
« It was a good game. We learnt a lot of things like some expressions (It’s raining cats and dogs). » Recensia
« It was very interesting and I think these expressions can help us speak English more fluently. » Vanessa
« This game was very interesting. It helps us work in groups and listen to each other. » Lakicha
« This game is very good but I think it was complicated to find out the words. » Dayenne
« With this game, we can learn a lot of expressions in English like "So far, so good". And it can help us to progress more in English. » Jamaï
« My impression on the activity is very positive because it taught me to memorize some words in English despite my difficulties with this language. » Milayou
« For me, this game is a good experience that we should renew often. It has enabled us to have a good practice of the English tongue and to be immersed into the English culture, notably with the idiomatic expressions used by the natives like "early bird". » Maureen
« I was a bit stressed out because I had trouble with my English pronunciation, but I really enjoyed afterwards, especially the fact that I was able to talk with other students. » Guillaume
Debates about climate change and the war in Ukraine
Students have taken part in two debates :
What are the challenges posed by climate change ? How can we cope with them ?
How does the war in Ukraine impact the French economy ?
Ideas about how to tackle climate change
« This debate helped me to talk about this issue and give arguments to cope with climate change. I think that climate change is a health and environmental issue. To fight against it, we should live in an economical way and consume less energy and resources. » Maureen
« Due to climate change, there are some countries which discover many problems like floods and forest fires. So the governement must convince the people to use less plastic. » Jamaï
« I feel climate change impacts the world and everyone because it provokes accidents and so many people die because it is very hot. To stop that, we have to stop using the things that pollute the world. » Dayenne
« There are forest fires across many countries and cities go through heat waves, terrifying storms and water shortages. If we don’t stop polluting, the Earth will become unlivable soon. To solve this problem, we need to recycle more products and think together what is best for the planet. » Vanessa
« In my opinion, climate change is a big problem for the development of some countries. But it can be an opportunity for some companies, for example, companies which sell air conditioners. » Recensia
Discussion about the 10-week internship
Exchanges about the 10-week internship that has to be carried out abroad
« For my internship, I want to go to Spain or Belgium because it’s a very beautiful place and to improve my pronunciation in Spanish. I have never been there and this will be a first for me. » Guillaume
« I would like to go to Florida to carry out my internship, firstly to improve my English and discover this place. The english-speaking countries interest me a lot, in particular the United States. » Maureen
« I would like to go to Trinidad to carry out my internship because last month I went to Trinidad for my holidays. I discovered many things so I think it’s better for me to go to a country I already know. » Vanessa
« With the presentation of the second-year students, I have learnt how much the internship in Malta costs and during the internship you can improve your level in English. The internship can be expensive. By the way, an internship agency can help you find out an internship. » Jamaï
« For me, the presentation of the ten-week internship done by the second-year students was very helpful. It helped me know how the internship can be. We can learn many things, more particularly in the field of work so I think that this 10-week internship will also help me to be more autonomous and learn more about international commerce. » Lakicha
« Me gustaría ir a España, para mis prácticas que me ayudarán a hablar mejor el idioma y descubrir nuevas cosas. La presentación de segundo año me ayudó mucho a entender cómo funcionaban las prácticas y cómo tenía que gestionar el dinero. Para mí, eran muy interesantes. » Dayenne
« Para mis práticas de primer año me gustaría ir a España, practicar y mejorar mi español al mismo tiempo. Y también descubrir nuevas cosas. Los estudiantes de segundo años nos contaron un poco sobre sus prácticas. Me ayudó a entender cómo debo gestionar mis prácticas y en particular el presupuesto que necesito tener. » Recensia
Les deux journées de rentrée se sont achevées par un moment convivial vendredi de 16h à 17h, un petit salé sucré en musique !
Immersion dans la culture hispanique avec une démonstration de flamenco par Mme Errecart !
