Opetusmenetelmät

This is an INTENSIVE implementation of English at work spread out over six weeks. As a five-credit course (worth 135 hours of your input) that means putting in about 20 hours of work a week. There are three webinars which will guide you through the weekly tasks so that you can work independently in-between sessions. It is assumed that you will finish the whole course before the summer break. Minor tasks in preparation of major tasks need to be completed at a brisk pace. Only re-sits of the major tasks will be available in the autumn. Major tasks take place in Zoom and assume that you have knowledge of this online environment, a working microphone and video camera and are able to make recordings. Due to the brisk nature of this course, it is not recommended for students who need extra help/time to complete tasks.
The ideal candidates for an online intensive course are those that have strong language skills, the ability to read instructions carefully and work independently in addition to having ample time in their schedule to complete tasks in May/early June.
Unit 1: Academic Writing weeks 19 and 20
Unit 2: Presentation skills week 21 and 22
Unit 3: Workplace Communication skills week 23 and 24
