Semester 1

Trefnydd: Dr Sarah Pogoda

This module is designed to provide an alternative to a semester abroad for students who are unable to go on their compulsory Year Abroad. Students who are unable to go abroad will be enrolled to one module per language of study. The aims of the module are to provide the students with language expose and support remotely, with a focus on oral, aural and intercultural skills, in order to provide an alternative to the compulsory Year Abroad and to prepare students for final year.

The module aims to further develop academic, cultural and linguistic skills which students acquire during their Year Abroad. There will be 3 weekly classes, with a focus on oral, aural and intercultural skills (including practical aspects of life in the country and current social topics). The primary focus should be on enhancing fluency and improving accuracy of spoken language usage, intercultural understanding and cultural insight.
