Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Understand the theoretical and methodological fundamentals in psychology, educational sciences and language sciences to analyse a particular situation involving speech therapy
• Identify and explain the concepts, principles, and models of basic theoretical approaches in psychology, educational sciences and language sciences and their applications
• Explain and illustrate, with examples, human functioning, particularly in its pathological dimensions
• Describe the main methodological approaches (goals, methods, techniques and tools) to understand and explain the functioning of individuals and groups
• Understand the fundamentals of speech therapy interventions
• Describe and illustrate the different types of intervention in language sciences
• Explain the concepts and relationships of theoretical models of intervention adopt a critical stance regarding these models.
• Explain the various issues underlying any intervention, and justify them according to their application context
• Identify the type of intervention, with reference to a theoretical framework, including the choice of appropriate tools to be implemented based on the analysis of a well-defined situation
• Provide clear, accurate, and reasoned information
• Provide information (both orally and in writing) regarding the fields of psychology, educational sciences and language sciences in an intelligible manner, with a good command of communication techniques.
• Summarise the contributions of different sources to justify an opinion or decision
• Write bibliographic references and results of statistical analysis in a standardised way (according to APA standards)
• Structure data gathered during the analysis of an intervention request
• Collaborate, work in a team

• Understand, describe and analyse the French language
• Describe and analyse language systems with regard to phonetics, phonemes, morphology, vocabulary, syntax and register

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the conclusion of the course, students will be familiar with methods for assessing the different components of spoken language and their associated disorders. They will be able to describe language phenomena as observed in speech therapy assessment tasks, using precise and appropriate terminology, and establishing theoretical–practical links that will allow them to formulate diagnostic hypotheses regarding the language difficulties that may underlie these phenomena. Students will be introduced to descriptive, semiological, and cognitive methods of analysis through case studies. They will also be encouraged to engage in critical analysis and reflection on the strengths and limitations of the tools commonly used in the field of speech and language therapy.
 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

The course will be structured around several activities:
- the presentation of theoretical concepts related to oral language disorders in children and adults, as well as their principles of assessment;
- the critical analysis of oral language assessment batteries;
- the resolution of case studies involving children and adults with oral language disorders (quantitative and qualitative analyses, formulation of diagnostic hypotheses).
