Prerequisites
Students need to have passed English for Global Governance 2.
Previous Knowledge
Excellent oral and written skills in general English are expected. Students should be able to apply and communicate what they learned in the English for Global Governance 2 subject.
Workload distribution
Up to 50 contact hours plus independent study (e.g. asynchronous work, preparation for in-class assessments and exams). In addition, students are expected to actively seek further learning opportunities.
COURSE CONTRIBUTION TO PROGRAM
This subject will develop skills students need for academic life (the current program and potential foreign exchange and Masters programs) and future work in a geopolitical context.
Course Learning Objectives
Students successfully completing this subject should thus be able to apply their spoken and written language skills in academic and work environments. They will be able to:
- Select, synthesise and reference appropriate sources using the Harvard referencing system
- Effectively plan and write academic texts relevant to the industry
- Form and develop their arguments
- Communicate effectively in interactive situations relevant to the industry
- Speak in public effectively.
Methodology
Classes are highly participatory and require students to take an active part in a variety of interactive and public-speaking tasks.
Students will write regularly during the subject on current topics relevant to their programme and in a style that is appropriate for both academia and the workplace.
Assessment criteria
Students will be assessed on both their written and oral skills.
In order to pass the subject, students must pass both the oral and written components with at least a 5 (out of 10).
If students need to resit the final, they will only need to re-sit the part that they failed. In any subsequent re-sits, however, they will need to resit both parts.
There is a minimum attendance requirement of 80%. Students who do not meet this requirement may not sit the final exam and will have to take the resit exam.
Bibliography
Faculty will upload materials produced by the language team to the subject website on Moodle.
