Extensive use of WebCT Vista in conjunction with these resources facilitates practice, revision and independent learning. The portfolio contains three sections: the needs analysis, action plan and learning log, by which students will structure their own learning; a record of language notes and notes on current affairs; a record of tasks and research carried out as part of the module, using all four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.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 Spanish.Assessment (formative and summative); Informal feedback is given during the tutorials. The portfolio contains both formative tasks (guided research, language practice) and summative assessments (tasks and class tests).Research/ teaching linkages; The module content and delivery is based on current research and best practice in language teaching and applied linguistics.Supporting equality and diversity; Materials are provided in hard copy and on WebCT.
