Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LosThis module consists of 3 hour seminars combining lecture and workshop. The first 45 minutes – 1 hour of each session (after session 1 which will consist of an hour long introduction + an hour lecture and a one hour workshop) consists of a lecture on the theme being studied. This will progress throughout the course of the module to cover: theories of language at a lexical level (2 sessions [LO1]); theories of language at a sentence level (1 session [LO1]); theories of language at an extended discourse level (2 sessions [LO1]); theories of the ethnography of communication (2 sessions [LO2]); theories of translation and interpretation (2 sessions [LO2]).
