Assessment method
The course provides a grounding in the theory and practice of teaching English as a second or foreign language. You’ll develop a core knowledge of the structure and meaning of English as a medium of communication and analyse the role of English from a social and cultural perspective. You’ll also develop your knowledge of research design and language analysis. Adapting to life in a new country can be both exciting and challenging. At the start of the course new students will take part in an induction programme where you’ll be introduced to your tutors and find out more about the course aims and learning outcomes, together with the assessment procedures and University’s support mechanisms. You’ll receive training from the Academic Librarian on information and research skills and about electronic methods of accessing library facilities for Masters’ students. Throughout the course you’ll experience a variety of teaching and learning techniques including lectures, seminars, group and individual tutorials. Face-to-face and online modes of communication will assist you in the assessment process and achievement of the learning outcomes. A number of assessment methods may be used on the course, including essays, poster presentations, lesson plans, microteaching, case studies and materials development. Your module specification/course handbook will provide full details of the assessment criteria applying to your course. Feedback is normally provided on all coursework submissions within three term time weeks – unless the submission was made towards the end of the session in which case feedback would be available on request after the formal publication of results. Feedback on exam performance/final coursework is available on request after the publication of results.
