The L1+ route
The Licence +, like the "classic" licence, lasts 3 years, but includes, in addition to the courses specific to the classic licence, specific courses which are added in a 4th teaching unit (UE4) and take place during the 1st year of the licence. These courses are also common to the Tempo program.
Who is the L1+ success path for?
-
It is addressed in priority to students who have received a "Yes if"response on Parcoursup with the obligation to register in the L1+ pathway with the accommodation code AM19. You can also find this mention in the attestation of admission to the first year, received after acceptance of the admission proposal to INALCO (75).
-
Students who have received a "Yes" answer on Parcoursup and automatically enrolled in the so-called "classic" course, can integrate the L1+ course if they wish, on request, during the back-to-school pedagogical registration period. However, registration is only possible while places are available.
Attention! Once the course has been changed (from "classic" to "L1+ course"), it will no longer be possible to go back. Consequently, all compulsory courses in UE1, UE2, UE3 and UE4 (courses and workshops in the L1+ pathway) must be validated to move on to L2.
To request this, please contact secretariat-reussite@inalco.fr at the time of pedagogical registration.
Registrations
There are two types of registration: administrative registration (IA), which validates your enrolment at Inalco, and pedagogical registration (IP), which takes place at the start of the academic year and allows you to register the courses you have taken, whether compulsory or chosen.
There is no specific administrative registration (IA) required for the L1+ course.
Pedagogical registration (IP) in the L1+ course (UE4) is done online, once the administrative registration has been validated (See pedagogical registration procedure).
For any questions regarding pedagogical enrolment in the L1+ pathway (UE4), please contact the student success center, secretariat-reussite@inalco.fr
How do I know if I'm enrolled in the right pathway?
Once you've registered for your course, refer to your study contract (or educational contract) on which you'll find the following indications: "Version" and "Parcours plus".
If the version number that appears is 191 and the course name "Parcours plus" is displayed, you are indeed enrolled in the L1+ course. (See image below)

L1+ course presentation
In addition to UE1, UE2 and UE3, common to the so-called "classic" pathway, the L1+ pathway is made up, each semester, of a 4thth teaching unit, the UE4, itself made up of three modules:
Module de personnalisation du parcours de formation - L1PA01 / L1PB01 (Sem1/Sem2) :
It includes supervision of the student project, skills assessment, workshop follow-up and L2 or Master's orientation. This module is managed by a referent.
Training module - L1PA04 / L1PB04 (Sem1/Sem2) :
It includes an early-semester internship named "Outils" (or "Stage Outils") and a workshop named "Anatomie d'une Langue et d'une culture" which is compulsory and to be validated at the end of each semester. It should be noted that the "Outils" internship takes place during the pre-entry week and is then integrated, in semester 2, into the "Anatomie d'une Langue et d'une culture 2" workshop.
Personalized support module - L1PA05 / L1PB05 (Sem1/Sem2) :
The support module elements offered are as follows:
- French
- Grammar Investigation in French
- English
- Methodology Support
- Cultural Workshops (including two to choose from this year, the Theatre cultural workshop and the Plurilingual Writing workshop)
- Tutorat (obligatory)
Important information to remember:
The student must compulsorily attend tutoring and must validate at least one of the six elements mentioned above.
Registration for language and/or civilization tutorials is made with the language and/or civilization teachers in the student's home department.
Registration for English, French or Grammar Investigation in French courses is conditional on the student's results in the English and French placement tests, organized at the start of the academic year, and then, carried out by the Student Success department.
The three remaining courses offered in this module, in addition to tutoring, are chosen according to the student's specific needs and in agreement with his/her advisor. The student will be able to register for a maximum of one or two elements per semester.
Workshops specific to L1+ and Tempo courses
Workshops specific to L1+ and Tempo courses
Tools Internship
Through this obligatory "Tools" or "Tools Internship" internship, students can acquire university methodology in an innovative and fun way, while taking into account hybrid work modalities. The course is divided into three parts:
- Note-taking and memorization.
- Effective methods for working in hybrid mode.
- Developing their ability to work independently.
The Outils course also presents itself as an opportunity for students to meet and exchange ideas with each other and with the various contributors in a fun, informal setting designed to give them the confidence to get the year off to a good start.
Workshop "Anatomy of a language and a culture"
The aim of this workshop is to get students to ask questions about languages, cultural systems and the relationship they have with the world and our society. They have the particularity of being much more spaces for exchange than courses per se.
The teacher takes charge of creating a framework conducive to debate, in which students can share their point of view, open up to other cultures present at Inalco and take initiatives that lead to the development of joint projects such as, the comparative study of dialects of a language or an interactive linguistic research game entitled Cosmo, etc.
They develop their ability to work in groups, while showcasing the skills and knowledge they have acquired. These workshops are an opportunity for students to discover new learning frameworks and forms, in which they are the main players.
Mandatory workshop. Validation is only obtained by VAL (=Validated) and NVAL (=Non Validated).
Cultural workshop: "Multilingual theater workshop"
Students enrolled in the L1+ and Tempo courses can choose and validate this workshop in UE4. Bachelor's students who are not in the L1+ or Tempo pathways can also choose this workshop, on request to the drama teacher and subject to availability.
These workshops run on a weekly basis of three-hour sessions and cover both semesters.
Placed under the responsibilitý of a performing arts professional, the workshop offers to reflect on the multiple forms of language and to dare to speak in different languages through the medium of theater.
On the program, theatrical training through :
Exercises and games to work on the body, diction and voice in space, as well as group cohesion;
Improvisation in French and in the students' learning languages, known languages or languages of interest ;
Development of imagination and creativity using collaborative tools;
A staging training component, where we'll focus on different aspects of editing needed to develop a theatrical staging, in addition to sharing students' particular skills if they wish: singing, dancing, acting, clowning, images, mask-making... anything goes!
All languages, all levels, all talents, budding or proven, are welcome, no prerequisites required́. On the other hand, regular attendancé at sessions is essential to the progress and success of participants and the entire troupe. Validation is only obtained by VAL (=Validated) and NVAL (=Non Validated).
Weekly rehearsal, face-to-face workshop and commitment over the entire school year indispensable.

Cultural workshop: "Atelier écriture plurilingue"
"This workshop, where pleasure and personal expression are central, will offer a large place to languages, to all languages, in a creative and caring approach."
Here are the skills you'll acquire and the objectives to achieve in this workshop:
- Facilitate the transition to writing and gain confidence
- Question the relationship to languages and the linguistic norm
- Stimulate creativity and the imagination
- Improve the ability to read a text aloud and take the floor
- Strengthen the ability to defend a personal and sensitive point of view
- Open a benevolent space for free expression
- Discover literature differently, by moving back and forth between practice and theory
A face-to-face workshop, commitment over the whole school year essential. Validation is by VAL (=Validated) and NVAL (=Non Validated) only. Regular homework assignments.

Testimony of a student enrolled in Parcours L1+ in 2019-2020
Soundarya, a first-year Tamil student, tells us about her L1+ experience.
Soundarya, decided to put her passion for languages to good use by enrolling at Inalco. For this new student, the L1+ meeting, as well as the tools courses, were a way of getting her first year off on the right foot.
The memorization and note-taking tools courses, which aim to introduce students to essential aspects of university work, helped her find the working method that suited her and adopted a new rhythm. What's more, she says that thanks to the teacher's relaxed and caring atmosphere, she felt more at ease expressing herself without fear of being judged or mocked, during exchanges with other students.
As part of the anatomy of a language and culture workshops, Soundarya took part in the design of the interactive game, Cosmo. While learning about linguistics in a fun way, she was able to showcase her skills and make suggestions for the project's success. That's why the enthusiasm created by this game lasted despite the confinement.
Soundarya was also able to work on her self-confidence as part of the theater workshop. Little by little, she was able to overcome her shyness and meet new classmates, with whom she has built relationships. She even confides that it is now much easier for her to go out and open up to others.
Finally, the appointment with her referent, was a way for her to see her evolution throughout the year. With the support of her guidance counsellor, she was able to ask herself the right questions for her future direction and look forward to what's to come with much more confidence.
