Mobility preparation

Esaip already has 26 years experience in practising ERASMUS exchanges. In this way you can make the most of all our expertise.

There are 4 ways of progressing in languages to help you prepare for your study stay and taking the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication):

• - by gaining a good grounding in the language then developing the four skill areas (oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression) to gradually master the language
• - through a professional approach(telephone, fax, commercial correspondence, developing a CV, negotiation techniques, job interview simulations),
• - through a communicative approach by studying different levels of the language: customs, know-how, social skills ..., with creativity work (advertising, newspaper, real-life situations, role play),
• - by a cultural approach and an awareness of the host country's international environment through current events (radio, press, television documents).

Preparing for your mobility is also about knowing the cultural identities of countries and their customs as well as looking for accommodation, means of transport... so your stay takes place in the best possible conditions.

Cultural projects

For each study stay you must do a cultural project alone or in a team.
This involves studying and analysing a cultural and/or economic subject in the town, region or country where you are staying and sharing a way of life and work with the inhabitants.
Your choice of study subject is inspired by the media, books, film...
The aim is to arouse your curiosity towards the culture. The study subject can be a link with your professional field. A written report is requested, it must be between 2700 and 3300 words in other words twenty or so pages illustrated with slides, diagrams and tables with figures and pictures and must contain interviews and accounts of visits...
You need to present your report orally before a jury.

Practical information

Support from esaip doesn't stop there: during each stay, you have a referent among the students who gives a weekly report on how lessons are going and how well you are fitting in. This allows the mobility centre and our teaching team to act quickly if needs be.
At the same time, you can contact any lecturer or course leader at any time if you have any problems or want particular support.

Before leaving, presentation meetings concerning

• The different study stay destinations.
• possible financing
• helping you look for a work placement overseas
• insurance overseas
• various administrative documents

Stay follow-up
