Les langues étrangères : clé de réussite pour une meilleure employabilité

Abstract

The present article aims to present the project “Bâtir mon projet professionnel pour une meilleure employabilité (BPME - Building my Professional Project for Better Employability)”. The project has been designed as a means to reinforce the role of foreign languages in the initial training of Philology students in order to help them to get better insertion on the labour market. The article investigates the monitoring and piloting tools of the project, as well as the content of the lessons (identifying labour opportunity markets, compiling an application file, harnessing the benefits of volunteering, setting up an individual business, simulation of a job interview) intending to analyse three aspects: students’ evolution, the language effectiveness and the literature study programmes and trainers.
