AIMS OF THE COURSE: to develop students’ ability to:
Students will be able to:
This unit comprises 20 hours of teaching in groups of up to 16 between weeks 15 and 21. As this is a 10-credit unit, you are expected to study for a total of 100 hours. This will include set pre- and post-session tasks as well as guided independent interactive online study.
Teaching and Learning will focus on the development of the student as an independent and critical thinker, capable of setting goals and implementing strategies, resulting from a heightened awareness of the written communication skills required. The students will be given practice in the planning and writing of such texts and will receive formative feedback to them to reflect more effectively on their written skills. The importance of independent and critical thinking will be developed through class discussion and reading tasks.
Students will be encouraged to ‘notice’, and attempt to use, the features of the target texts (vocabulary, grammar and style) and the ways in which texts are organised and presented.
Summative essay (1000 words) 60% (ILOs 1-6)
Poster presentation (max. 15 mins.) 40% (ILOs 2-7)
