12.9 Certificat De Bilinguisme

Les étudiants de Mount Allison capables de montrer qu'ils possèdent une bonne connaissance des deux langues officielles du Canada peuvent se présenter au concours du Certificat de bilinguisme. Ce certificat décerné lors de la remise des diplômes, fait foi que les étudiants ont démontré leur capacité de lire, d'écrire, de parler et de comprendre le français et l'anglais avec facilitié et correction. L'attestation officielle que représente le Certificat pourrait s'avérer utile aux diplômés se proposant de poursuivre une carrière dans la fonction publique ou dans les affaires, où la connaissance de l'anglais et du français est exigée ou souhaitable. Tous les étudiants peuvent s'inscrire au concours, qu'ils aient suivi ou non des cours de français ou d'anglais à Mount Allison. Les candidats sont invités à s'adresser au Département de langues et littératures modernes, qui administre le Certificat de bilinguisme.

12.9.1 Renseignements

Le concours est ouvert à tous les étudiants, quelle que soit leur langue maternelle. Les candidats sont priés de s'inscrire au concours au plus tard en décembre de leur année terminale à Mount Allison. Tous les candidats devront passer un examen qui consistera à écouter, parler, lire et écrire en français et en anglais. Il s'agit d'un examen d'ensemble, qui pourra comprendre la rédaction de lettres, d'essais ou de traductions; la lecture de textes littéraires ou techniques; et la participation à une conversation ou à une discussion. La préparation du Certificat n'est sujette à aucune série préétablie de cours. Les candidats sont toutefois encouragés à profiter des nombreuses possibilitiés dont on dispose à Mount Allison pour l'acquisition des deux langues officielles du Canada.

12.9.2 Niveaux Requis

Les candidats doivent démontrer, dans les deux langues, qu'ils sont capables:

  1. de suivre et de comprendre des émissions radiophoniques, des films, des conférences,

  2. de comprendre sans dictionnaire, les idées principales d'un texte complexe (livre, article, compte rendu); et de comprendre à fond le même genre de texte avec l'aide d'un dictionnaire dans une période de temps raisonnable,

  3. d'écrire une lettre ou un compte-rendu sans fautes de grammaire et sans erreurs de style,

  4. de prendre part à une conversation en exprimant des idées complexes, en élaborant et en développant un raisonnement, et en répondant à des questions.
