Depuis quelques années, il était interdit de choisir une option transversale au sein de son propre département. On vient de m'informer que ce n'est plus le cas. Alors, s'il y a des étudiants en département d'anglais qui n'ont pas encore d'option transversale, vous serez les bienvenus.

M2 Master professionnel
I hacve started marking your translation test. Here is my suggested translation.
If you are the first to see it, please tell the others where it is.
Of course, many translations are possible, but notice the importance of increasing the number of verbs, and decreasing the frequency of latinate vocabulary. Because the style is fairly informal ("Pas facile de....") I felt that some contractions were acceptable.
Good luck with finding placements. I would be interested to know what you found, and how it is for you. Send me an email...
Marks will be a little time coming, but will be available on this blog.

CAPES : defining documents as subjective, partisan etc
Remember that the word "biassed" means "favouring one particular position, *especially in a way considered to be unfair*", that is to say "biassed" is a derogatory term in general. Often it will be more appropriate to define documents as "partisan" or "subjective".

I will also be asking you for suggestions on the course, which as you know has been given for the first time this year.

For reading, around the subject of Political power and its representation, the problem is not to become an encyclopedia, but I would say the absolute minimum reading (for the British side) would be a general history, a history of the Labour party and a history of the Concervative party.
In addition, read three or four articles every day from the websites of the British press. Choose the articles which seem to be connected to political power and its representation.
