Nouvelle batterie de Tests d’Aptitude en Langue Française à l’Université Saint-Joseph (USJ) de Beyrouth

Le Centre des langues vivantes (CLV) de la Faculté de langues et de traduction (FdLT) de l’USJ a le plaisir d’annoncer le lancement d'une nouvelle batterie de Tests d'Aptitude en Langue Française (TALF), orchestrée par Mme Nada Kfouri Khoury responsable du projet et de la section de français au CLV et supervisée par Mmes Gina Saad et Diana Issa respectivement doyen de la Fdlt et directrice du CLV. Ce dispositif innovant vise à renforcer l’acuité de l’évaluation des compétences linguistiques des candidats tout en répondant aux exigences contemporaines du monde francophone. Grâce à une approche dynamique et interactive, ces tests permettront aux candidats de mesurer leur niveau en langue française et leur faculté à suivre des cours dans cette langue. Deux sessions d’information ont été assurées par la FdLT à l’intention des coordinateurs des campus régionaux de l’USJ et des représentants et coordinateurs des établissements scolaires du Liban. Une équipe passionnée, formée d’enseignantes à la FdLT, composée de Mmes Michèle Habbaki, Carine Moughayar et Elsa Charabati a également travaillé assidûment à la fabrication de ces tests et/ou à leur enregistrement, garantissant ainsi leur qualité et leur pertinence. Bon vent et bonne chance à tous les nouveaux candidats au TALF !

The Higher Education Capacity Development (HECD) program, funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by the Education Development Center (EDC), held its annual higher education summit on 20 January 2022 bringing together ten Lebanese partner universities and one U.S. based university. The event welcomed the presence of the U.S. Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Richard Michaels, USAID/Lebanon’s Mission Director Eileen Devitt, and university representatives. The summit was an opportunity to highlight the impact of the program. It featured panel discussions with local and international experts from EDC and Florida State University, university professors, students and career center experts. Dr. Rosine Zgheib Abi Rizk, Head of the English Department of the Faculty of Languages and Translation at USJ, has been actively collaborating with EDC on this project. As a panelist, her discussions focused on job readiness skills, and highlighted the importance of career center enhancements, university-employer engagement, adaptations to curricula, work-based learning, entrepreneurship, and design thinking.
The event concluded with the presentation of certificates of appreciation to the universities, honoring their active role in the project.
