Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOs: Classes are in tutorial form and are highly interactive. Emphasis is placed on practising speaking, listening reading and writing skills, using the resources of the language labs and relevant online resources. Extensive use of Moodle in conjunction with these resources facilitates practice, revision and independent learning. Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills: Key employability skills are: time management and taking responsibility for your own workload; communication skills; research skills; the ability to argue a case or defend a position in speaking or writing in French.Assessment (formative and summative):Informal feedback is given during the tutorials and in comments on guided learning tasks. Summative assessment tests grammatical competence, oral and written comprehension, and the ability to present arguments in a simulated business situation.Research/ teaching linkages:The modes of delivery and assessment are informed by current research in applied linguistics and second language acquisition.Supporting equality and diversity: Materials are provided on Moodle and in some cases in hard copy. The languages server facilitates access to language learning materials. The assessments are designed to be accessible to students from a range of different backgrounds and first languages. Student Support Services can provide extra help as required.Internationalisation: The module provides an entry into other cultures and fosters understanding and integration.
