This unit is only available to study abroad students
This unit provides a general introduction to the target language. It is intended:
Students will:
1. be able to communicate orally and in writing with a degree of accuracy and fluency when dealing with immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need
2. be able to work at a basic level with routine authentic material and retrieve necessary information.
3. have acquired knowledge and awareness of the general social and cultural background of the target language.
4. be able to understand and interpret written texts at a basic level.
5. be able to respond to written texts at a basic level.
Overall, students will attain a level comparable to A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Learners will be involved in a variety of synchronous activities, mostly interactive with maximum use of the target language, but with attention devoted also to explaining the fundamentals of the target language’s structures. These activities will be supported and amplified by asynchronous e-learning opportunities and self-directed exercises.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. UWLP10030).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
