摘要：AbstractThis survey studied the linguistic and communicative evolution in a Language and Communication module (LC) of 1,456 students who took placement tests in the early autumn semester and were evaluated at the end of the spring semester of the same academic year. These students belong to hard science majors and were respectively enrolled in the first and second semesters. 51% of these students demonstrated a weak level of written language, with a worrying final score. Students suffered insufficiency in terms of linguistic prerequisites, couldn’t keep up with the French taught course contents, and consequently couldn’t meet employment requirements in terms of linguistic and communicative skills.
