Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOs;

Classes are in tutorial form and are highly interactive in nature. In the course of completing the project the students will use the resources of the internet, the Spanish community at Napier University, partner universities in Spain and NULIS to produce a report on an agreed topic relating broadly to travelling, studying or working in Spain. The structure and timetable for the research and the roles in the groups will be agreed in advance with the lecturer, whose role will be chiefly that of facilitator. The findings of the project will be presented orally and in writing.

Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills;

The skills embedded in this module include: teamwork; research skills; time management; presentation skills

Assessment (formative and summative);

Formative assessment is given in each class and on the deadlines agreed by the project team. Summative assessments take place in weeks 12/13 (the presentation) and week 15 (the written report)

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. The assessments allow students from a variety of backgrounds, first languages and with differing strengths to demonstrate their ability. Student Support Services can provide extra help as required.

Internationalisation
The module is international in focus and fosters integration and cross-cultural understanding, particularly in relation to the language, lifestyles and customs of the target country.
