Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LosClasses for this module are in tutorial form and are highly interactive. An emphasis is placed on practising speaking, listening, reading (LO2, LO3) and writing (LO4) skills in Mandarin, using the resources of the language laboratories and the languages server. The tutorials will also encourage an appropriate amount of discussion (conducted in English) around Chinese-focused and intercultural topics as expressed through language (LO1, LO5), such as the widely accepted and contradicting cultural ‘realities’ in contemporary China, cultural connotations embedded in lexical items ad syntax etc.. Use of Moodle in conjunction with these facilities facilitates off-site practice, revision and independent learning. The portfolio includes an accumulative programme of formative and summative assessments to help you pace your learning in terms of different aspects of your Mandarin language skills (LO2, LO3, LO4), Chinese-specific cultural knowledge (LO1) and intercultural understanding (LO5).Embedding of employability/PDP/Scholarship Skills: Oral and written communication skills are developed. The acquisition of another language and expanded cultural views enhances employability. Good time management is encouraged and reflection on learning is promoted.Assessment (formative or summative)Frequent opportunities for revision and consolidation of earlier learning occur in every class. Formative and summative assessments targeting at students’ speaking, listening, writing skills and intercultural awareness take place according to a timetable issued at the beginning of the module. The assessment portfolio will include a range of tasks which will test the students’ linguistic and cultural knowledge.Research / teaching linkagesThe module content and delivery is based on current research and best practice in language teaching (particularly Mandarin), applied linguistics and intercultural communication.Su
