Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The emphasis is on student autonomy. With the support and guidance of their tutor,students are expected to identify and research a current topic related to their mainlanguage and/or the place in which they are studying while abroad. This allows them todevelop their language skills within the context of a research project on a topic which isof particular interest or relevance to them. The independent research, using authenticmaterials in the form of websites, news media and books in the foreign language allowsstudents to deepen their language skills. The requirement for primary research is eitherin the form of interviews that students have to use their language actively in authenticsituations or in the identification and analysis of mediated online comments on aparticular cultural topic. The process of writing up the research further develops theirlinguistic skills.Clear guidelines are given and discussed with the students.The role of the tutor is toguide the research process and advise.
