Introduction to the course
The course is visualised as blocks (called modules) where we focus on different skills:
Course introduction (this is where we are now)
Motivational speech
Analysing literature
Debates
Academic writing
The Midway Test (this is around X-mas)
The Finals (optional!)
Only the Course intro., The Midway Test and The Finals are set
Each module consists of 12 lessons (except the Midway exam and the Finals). After lessons 3, 6, 7 and 11-12, I assess your knowledge and skills.
You will receive feedback (how did it go and why?) and feedforward (what can I do better next time and how?) continuously.
Grades = when the course is over. Module grades = where am I heading?
The course is visualised as blocks (or modules, each with 12 lessons). Before the winter holidays, we will have focused on two skills - for example both speaking and writing comprehension - one per module, in order to practice all skills equally.
You are given influence over the order that we study the modules. We vote democractially to create our schedule.
A short interview
Your task is to interview another student (~2-5 min) using Flip and in the process help them introduce themselves. This will be recorded and only seen by Feke.
You will be provided with some questions and the aim of the interview is twofold:
Getting to know you, as well as
Providing an example of your speaking skills.
Please note that this will not be graded but you will receive feedback.
