The L1+ route
The L1+ pathway is a student success program within the Licence+ program (also known as Parcours PLUS), aimed at students at L1 level. It offers individual follow-up and personalized training and support modules designed to help students succeed.
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, upon 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.
Once you have done your administrative registration (IA), please proceed to your pedagogical registration (IP) online. (See "Guide IP WEB - étapes à suivre" down below).
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.

Testimony of a student enrolled in the L1+ programme 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 and tool courses were a great way to get her first year off to a good start.
The memorisation and note-taking tools courses, which are designed to introduce students to essential aspects of university work, helped her to find the working method that suited her and to adopt a new rhythm. What's more, she says that thanks to the relaxed atmosphere and the kindness of the teacher, 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 helped to design the interactive game Cosmo. As well as learning about linguistics in a fun way, she was able to showcase her skills and make suggestions for bringing the project to fruition. That's why the enthusiasm generated by the game has endured despite the confinement.
Soundarya was also able to work on her self-confidence as part of the drama workshop. Little by little, she was able to overcome her shyness and meet new friends, with whom she built up relationships. She even confides that it is now much easier for her to go out and open up to others.
Finally, the meeting with her counsellor was a way for her to see how she had progressed throughout the year. With the support of her guidance counsellor, she has been able to ask herself the right questions about her future direction, and is now looking ahead with much greater confidence.
