Opiskelumateriaali

Opintojaksolla on käytössä Learn-alusta ja sen kautta jaettava teksti-, ääni- ja videomateriaali. Osa materiaalista jaetaan lähitunneilla tai on käytössä vain niiden aikana esimerkiksi tekijänoikeuksien vuoksi. Osa opiskelumateriaalista on opiskelijoiden yhdessä opintojakson aikana tuottamaa.

Yksilölliset oppimisväylät

Ilmoittautuessasi tälle opintojakson toteutukselle osallistut työjärjestyksen mukaiseen opetukseen ja ohjaukseen. Opiskelusi rytmittyy työjärjestyksen mukaisten ryhmätapaamisten ja itsenäisesti sekä ryhmissä tehtävien oppimistehtävien mukaan. Alla oleva kohta Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet kuvaa tarkemmin opintojakson tehtäviä ja opetusmenetelmiä. Opetus perustuu opiskelijoiden aktiiviseen osallistumiseen, oppitunneille etukäteen valmistautumiseen, säännölisyyteen ja "yhdessä ihmettelyyn".

TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö

Opintojakson oppimistehtävissä harjoitellaan työelämän kieli- ja viestintätaitoja.

Tentit ja muut määräajat

Opintojaksolla on yksi tentti sekä mahdollisesti ryhmässä tehtävä toinen tentti ja ryhmissä tai pareittain sekä itsenäisesti suoritettavia tehtäviä, joilla on tietty palautuspäivä. Tentti- ja palautuspäivistä sovitaan opintojakson alussa. Lisätietoja tenteistä ja tehtävistä saat lukemalla kohdan Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet.

Kansainvälinen yhteistyö

Opintojakson materiaalit ja tehtävät tukevat ja parantavat opiskelijoiden valmiuksia työskennellä kansainvälisissä tehtävissä ja ympäristöissä. Opintojaksolla huomioidaan myös kulttuurien välisiä eroja viestinnässä.

Opiskelijan työmäärä

Opiskelijan työmäärä on korkeintaan 135 tuntia. Työmäärään vaikuttavat mm. opiskelijan lähtötilanne englannin kielen hallinnassa. Lähiopetuksen määrä tällä opintojaksolla on noin 56−60 tuntia. Tarkempaa tietoa työmäärästä saat lukemalla kohdan Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet.

Toteutuksen osien kuvaus

Opintojaksolla harjoitellaan työssä tarvittavia viestintätaitoja, opiskellaan työssä tarvittavaa ammattisanastoa sekä kerrataan yleisiä kielten ja englannin sanaston opiskeluun liittyviä yksityiskohtia sekä harjoitellaan apuvälineiden käyttöä. Nämä osat limittyvät toisiinsa koko opintojakson ajan.

Further information

Opintojakson opetus on pääasiassa englanniksi. Suomea käytetään tukikielenä. Opintojaksolla opiskellaan ammattialasi keskeistä englanninkielistä sanastoa sekä yleensä työelämän viestintätilanteissa tarvittavaa sanastoa ja kehitetään työelämän viestintätaitoja. Opiskelijat voivat vaikuttaa opintojakson sisältämään sanastoon ryhmäprojektien aihevalinnoilla. Lisäksi päivitetään tiedot englannin kielen sanastonhallinnasta yleensä sekä tehostetaan taitoja englannin opiskelussa ja apuvälineiden käytössä.


Huomioithan myös, että osalla opintojakson tunneista tarvitset kuulokkeita ja mikrofonia (ei sisäänrakennettuja). Saat opintojakson alussa tiedot kerroista, jolloin niitä tarvitaan. Parhaiten toimii headset, ja joitakin kappaleita on lainattavissa. Xamkin tietohallintoratkaisujen vuoksi missään Mikkelin kampuksen luokassa ei enää ole headset-varusteltuja työasemia.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Assessment methods and criteria

Vastuu osaamisen osoittamisesta on opiskelijalla. Opintojakson suorittaminen ja arviointi perustuvat opiskelijan aktiiviseen osallistumiseen ja arvioitavien tehtävien tekemiseen opintojakson alussa sovittaviin määräpäiviin mennessä. Arvioinnissa painottuu sellaisten jatkuvaa arviointia tukevien tehtävien suorittaminen, joita ei arvioida asteikolla 1−5 tai palauteta, vaan tehdään lähituntien yhteydessä ja/tai kotitehtävinä. Opintojaksolla huomioidaan myös itsearviointi ja vertaisarviointi.

Opintojakson arvioitavia tehtäviä voivat olla:
• ryhmässä tehtävä oman alan sanastoa käsittelevä Team project, 1 eli esimerkiksi yritysesittely ja sanalista, joiden tekoprosessiin kuuluu myös englanninkielinen kokous,
• ammattisanastoon keskittyvä itsenäisesti tehtävä koe opintojakson lopulla ja mahdollisesti ryhmässä tehtävä työelämäviestintään liittyvä koe opintojakson keskivaiheilla.

Edellä mainituista tehtävistä arviointiasteikolla 1−5 arvioidaan muut tehtävät paitsi Team project 1. Projektista ja sen vaiheista käydään palautekeskusteluja, joissa opiskelijat saavat tietoa taitotasostaan sekä ryhmä- että yksilötasolla. Projektiin liittyvä kirjoittaminen ja puhuminen tukevat muissa tehtävissä osoitetun taidon arviointia.
Muita opintojakson aikana tehtäviä arviointia tukevat ja palautettavia tehtäviä voivat olla:
• essee tai keskusteluharjoitus omista aiemmista opinnoista ja työkokemuksesta tiettyä sanastoa käyttäen,
• lukustrategioihin liittyvä tehtävä,
• ryhmässä tai pareittain tuntien yhteydessä tehtävä kirjallinen viesti – sähköposti tai kirje,
• Team project 2, eli esimerkiksi videotutoriaali tai työpaja ja aiheeseen liittyvä sanalista
Näitä tehtäviä ei arvioida asteikolla 1−5, mutta tehtävät on suoritettava. Ne antavat pohjan kielitaidon kehittymisen seuraamiselle ja tukevat opintojakson suorittamisen arviointia sekä opiskelijan itsearviointia. Sama rooli on kaikilla opintojakson aikana tehtävillä suullisilla ja kirjallisilla harjoituksilla.

• Tämä Ammattienglannin lähitoteutus on suunnattu robotiikan ja tekoälyn opiskeljoille. Opetus toteutetaan kokonaan lähiopetuksena Kouvolan kampuksella lukujärjestyksen mukaan. Etäosallistuminen ei ole mahdollista. Opintojakson suorittaminen hyväksytysti edellyttää, että opiskelija osallistuu vähintään 50%:iin lähiopetuskerroista.
• Opiskelu rytmittyy työjärjestyksen mukaisten ryhmätapaamisten ja itsenäisten sekä ryhmätehtävien mukaan. Opintojakso koostuu viikottaisista lähiopetuskerroista ja tunneilla sekä itseopiskeluna tehtävistä yksilö- ja pienryhmätehtävistä.
• Opettajan ohjausta on saatavilla lähituntien yhteydessä ja tarvittaessa sähköpostitse tai Teamsissä.
• Arvioitavat tehtävät tehdään pääosin yksilötyönä, osa ryhmätyönä.
• Opintojaksolla hyödynnetään erilaisia palautteenantotapoja, esim. automaattinen palaute ja kirjallinen sekä suullinen palaute. Lisäksi voidaan hyödyntää myös vertaispalautteenantoa.
• Jos opiskelijalla on aikaisemmin hankittua osaamista Ammattienglannissa, hän voi hakea osaamisen tunnustamista ja näin ollen korvata Ammattienglannin aikaisemmin hankitulla osaamisellaan. Ohjeet ja periaatteet on saatavilla Lux-intranetissä osoitteessa: https://ksamk.sharepoint.com/sites/Opiskelu/SitePages/Osaaminen-tunnistaminen-kieliopinnoissa.aspx

TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö

Opintojaksolla opiskellaan englannin kieltä ja viestintää työelämätilanteita varten.

Tentit ja muut määräajat

Opintojaksolla suoritetaan oppimistehtäviä, joista osa on arvioitavia. Tehtävät ajoittuvat koko opintojakson keston ajalle, eli opintojaksolla hyödynnetään jatkuvaa arviointia. Näiden tehtävien ja suoritusten painoarvo on 50% opintojakson kokonaisarvioinnista. Tarkemmat aikataulut annetaan opiskelijoille ensimmäisellä lähiopetuskerralla.

Opintojakson loppupuolella pidetään arvioitava suullinen esitys, joka muodostaa 20% opintojakson kokonaisarvioinnista. Suullinen esitys pidetään kampuksella lähiopetuskerran yhteydessä, tai muulla erikseen opettajan kanssa sovitulla tavalla.

Opintojakson viimeisellä lähiopetuskerralla tehdään tentti kampuksella. Tentti muodostaa 30% opintojakson kokonaisarvioinnista.

Kurssi päättyy toteutuksen tiedoissa ilmoitettuna aikana, johon mennessä opiskelija on palauttanut suoritukseen vaadittavat harjoitustehtävät, suorittanut tentit ja suullisen esitykset, ja täyttänyt muut hyväksytyn suorituksen vaatimukset.

Opiskelijan työmäärä

Opintojakson laajuus on 5 op, joka vastaa laskennallisesti 135 tuntia opiskelijan työtä (1 op vastaa noin 27 tuntia opiskelijan työtä). Työmäärä kuitenkin riippuu opiskelutaidoista ja aiemmasta osaamisesta.

Toteutuksen osien kuvaus

Opintojakso koostuu viikkokohtaisista teemoista, jotka esitellään opiskelijoille ensimmäisellä lähiopetuskerralla. Osaan teemoista liittyy arvioitavia suorituksia, joiden painotus kurssin kokonaisarvioinnissa on 50%.

Lisäksi opintojaksoon sisältyy kampuksella pidettävä suullinen esitys (20%) ja kirjallinen tentti (30%), joiden tarkemmat aikataulut annetaan opintojakson alussa.

Further information

Opintojakso keskittyy työelämän, sekä alakohtaisemmin insinöörien ja robotiikan, sanastoon ja viestintätilanteisiin. Ryhmätapaamisissa pääpaino on suullisessa kommunikoinnissa ja sanastovaraston laajentamisessa, verkkotehtävät kehittävät työelämässä tarvittavia kirjallisia viestintätaitoja.

Tämä Ammattienglannin lähitoteutus edellyttää säännöllistä osallistumista opetukseen, eli opintojaksoa ei voi suorittaa itsenäisesti opiskellen. Opiskelijan on osallistuttava vähintään 50%:iin lähiopetuskerroista.

Opiskelumateriaali

Opiskelumateriaali koostuu opettajan ja opiskelijoiden kokoamasta materiaalista Learnissa sekä tunneilla jaettavasta materiaalista.

Yksilölliset oppimisväylät

• Opintojakso toteutetaan paikkaan sitomattomana verkko-opetuksena lukujärjestykseen merkittyinä aikoina Teams-ympäristössä, minkä lisäksi opintojaksoon sisältyy aikataulutettuja yksilö-/ryhmätehtäviä. Osallistuminen edellyttää nettiyhteyden lisäksi kuva- ja ääniyhteyttä. Osallistuminen verkko-opetuskerroille on vapaaehtoista. Verkko-opetuskertoja ei tallenneta.

• Opiskelu tapahtuu Learn-ympäristössä. Pääsy opintojaksoalustalle aukeaa opintojakson alkamispäivänä.

• Opiskelu rytmittävät itsenäisesti/ryhmässä tehtävät oppimistehtävät, jotka on teemoitettu ja aikataulutettu viikkorakenteen mukaisesti. Opiskelija voi halutessaan suorittaa oppimistehtävät nopeutetusti, mutta suorituksen kokonaisarviointi tehdään vasta opintojakson lopussa.

• Arvioitavat tehtävät suoritetaan itsenäisesti/ryhmätöinä. Tehtävät on palautettava annetussa aikataulussa.

• Opintojaksolla hyödynnetään erilaisia palautteenantotapoja, esim. automaattinen palaute ja kirjallinen palaute. Lisäksi voidaan hyödyntää myös vertaispalautteenantoa.

• Jos opiskelijalla on aikaisemmin hankittua osaamista Ammattienglannissa, hän voi hakea osaamisen tunnustamista ja näin ollen korvata Ammattienglannin aikaisemmin hankitulla osaamisellaan. Ohjeet ja periaatteet on saatavilla Lux-intranetissä osoitteessa: https://ksamk.sharepoint.com/sites/Opiskelu/SitePages/Osaaminen-tunnistaminen-kieliopinnoissa.aspx

TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö

Opintojaksolla opiskellaan englannin kieltä ja viestintää työelämätilanteita varten.

Tentit ja muut määräajat

Opintojaksolla suoritetaan oppimistehtäviä, joista osa on arvioitavia. Tehtävät ajoittuvat koko opintojakson keston ajalle, eli opintojaksolla hyödynnetään jatkuvaa arviointia. Näiden tehtävien ja suoritusten painoarvo on 40% opintojakson kokonaisarvioinnista. Tarkemmat aikataulut annetaan opiskelijoille opintojakson alussa.

Opintojakson toteutusaikana pidetään arvioitava suullinen esitys, joka muodostaa 30% opintojakson kokonaisarvioinnista. Suullinen esitys pidetään Teamsissä pienryhmittäin, ja opiskelija voi varata itselleen sopivan ajankohdan opintojakson alkaessa.

Opintojakson viimeisellä viikolla tehdään tentti Learnissä. Tentti muodostaa 30% opintojakson kokonaisarvioinnista.

Kurssi päättyy toteutuksen tiedoissa ilmoitettuna aikana, johon mennessä opiskelija on palauttanut suoritukseen vaadittavat harjoitustehtävät, suorittanut tentit ja suullisen esitykset, ja täyttänyt muut hyväksytyn suorituksen vaatimukset.

Opiskelijan työmäärä

Opintojakson laajuus on 5 op, joka vastaa laskennallisesti 135 tuntia opiskelijan työtä (1 op vastaa noin 27 tuntia opiskelijan työtä). Työmäärä kuitenkin riippuu opiskelutaidoista ja aiemmasta osaamisesta.

Toteutuksen osien kuvaus

Opintojakso koostuu viikkokohtaisista teemoista, jotka esitellään opiskelijoille ensimmäisellä lähiopetuskerralla. Osaan teemoista liittyy arvioitavia suorituksia, joiden painotus kurssin kokonaisarvioinnissa on 40%.

Lisäksi opintojaksoon sisältyy Teamsissä reaaliaikaisesti pidettävä suullinen esitys (30%) pienryhmissä ja kirjallinen tentti (30%), joiden tarkemmat aikataulut annetaan opintojakson alussa.

Further information

Tämä on data-analytiikan opiskelijoille suunnattu Ammattienglannin verkkototeutus, johon sisältyy itsenäisiä-/ryhmätehtäviä sekä aikaan sidottua verkko-opetusta. Verkko-opetus on vapaaehtoista, eikä sitä tallenneta.

Opintojakso keskittyy liiketalouden ja data-analytiikan alakohtaiseen sanastoon ja viestintätilanteisiin. Verkkotapaamisissa pääpaino on suullisessa kommunikoinnissa ja sanastovaraston laajentamisessa; itsenäiset ja ryhmätehtävät kehittävät työelämässä tarvittavia kirjallisia viestintätaitoja ja oman alan sanastoa.

Opiskelumateriaali

Opintojaksolla on käytössä Learn-alusta ja sen kautta jaettava teksti-, ääni- ja videomateriaali. Osa materiaalista jaetaan lähitunneilla tai on käytössä vain niiden aikana esimerkiksi tekijänoikeuksien vuoksi. Osa opiskelumateriaalista on opiskelijoiden yhdessä opintojakson aikana tuottamaa.

Yksilölliset oppimisväylät

Ilmoittautuessasi tälle opintojakson toteutukselle osallistut työjärjestyksen mukaiseen opetukseen ja ohjaukseen. Opiskelusi rytmittyy työjärjestyksen mukaisten ryhmätapaamisten ja itsenäisesti sekä ryhmissä tehtävien oppimistehtävien mukaan. Alla oleva kohta Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet kuvaa tarkemmin opintojakson tehtäviä ja opetusmenetelmiä. Opetus perustuu opiskelijoiden aktiiviseen osallistumiseen, oppitunneille etukäteen valmistautumiseen, säännölisyyteen ja "yhdessä ihmettelyyn".

TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö

Opintojakson oppimistehtävissä harjoitellaan työelämän kieli- ja viestintätaitoja.

Tentit ja muut määräajat

Opintojaksolla on yksi tentti sekä mahdollisesti ryhmässä tehtävä toinen tentti ja ryhmissä tai pareittain sekä itsenäisesti suoritettavia tehtäviä, joilla on tietty palautuspäivä. Tentti- ja palautuspäivistä sovitaan opintojakson alussa. Lisätietoja tenteistä ja tehtävistä saat lukemalla kohdan Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet.

Kansainvälinen yhteistyö

Opintojakson materiaalit ja tehtävät tukevat ja parantavat opiskelijoiden valmiuksia työskennellä kansainvälisissä tehtävissä ja ympäristöissä. Opintojaksolla huomioidaan myös kulttuurien välisiä eroja viestinnässä.

Opiskelijan työmäärä

Opiskelijan työmäärä on korkeintaan 135 tuntia. Työmäärään vaikuttavat mm. opiskelijan lähtötilanne englannin kielen hallinnassa. Lähiopetuksen määrä tällä opintojaksolla on noin 56−60 tuntia. Tarkempaa tietoa työmäärästä saat lukemalla kohdan Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet.

Toteutuksen osien kuvaus

Opintojaksolla harjoitellaan työssä tarvittavia viestintätaitoja, opiskellaan työssä tarvittavaa ammattisanastoa sekä kerrataan yleisiä kielten ja englannin sanaston opiskeluun liittyviä yksityiskohtia sekä harjoitellaan apuvälineiden käyttöä. Nämä osat limittyvät toisiinsa koko opintojakson ajan.

Further information

Opintojakson opetus on pääasiassa englanniksi. Suomea käytetään tukikielenä. Opintojaksolla opiskellaan ammattialasi keskeistä englanninkielistä sanastoa sekä yleensä työelämän viestintätilanteissa tarvittavaa sanastoa ja kehitetään työelämän viestintätaitoja. Opiskelijat voivat vaikuttaa opintojakson sisältämään sanastoon ryhmäprojektien aihevalinnoilla. Lisäksi päivitetään tiedot englannin kielen sanastonhallinnasta yleensä sekä tehostetaan taitoja englannin opiskelussa ja apuvälineiden käytössä.


Huomioithan myös, että osalla opintojakson tunneista tarvitset kuulokkeita ja mikrofonia (ei sisäänrakennettuja). Saat opintojakson alussa tiedot kerroista, jolloin niitä tarvitaan. Parhaiten toimii headset, ja joitakin kappaleita on lainattavissa. Xamkin tietohallintoratkaisujen vuoksi missään Mikkelin kampuksen luokassa ei enää ole headset-varusteltuja työasemia.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Assessment methods and criteria

Vastuu osaamisen osoittamisesta on opiskelijalla. Opintojakson suorittaminen ja arviointi perustuvat opiskelijan aktiiviseen osallistumiseen ja arvioitavien tehtävien tekemiseen opintojakson alussa sovittaviin määräpäiviin mennessä. Arvioinnissa painottuu sellaisten jatkuvaa arviointia tukevien tehtävien suorittaminen, joita ei arvioida asteikolla 1−5 tai palauteta, vaan tehdään lähituntien yhteydessä ja/tai kotitehtävinä. Opintojaksolla huomioidaan myös itsearviointi ja vertaisarviointi.

Opintojakson arvioitavia tehtäviä voivat olla:
• ryhmässä tehtävä oman alan sanastoa käsittelevä Team project, 1 eli esimerkiksi yritysesittely ja sanalista, joiden tekoprosessiin kuuluu myös englanninkielinen kokous,
• ammattisanastoon keskittyvä itsenäisesti tehtävä koe opintojakson lopulla ja mahdollisesti ryhmässä tehtävä työelämäviestintään liittyvä koe opintojakson keskivaiheilla.

Edellä mainituista tehtävistä arviointiasteikolla 1−5 arvioidaan muut tehtävät paitsi Team project 1. Projektista ja sen vaiheista käydään palautekeskusteluja, joissa opiskelijat saavat tietoa taitotasostaan sekä ryhmä- että yksilötasolla. Projektiin liittyvä kirjoittaminen ja puhuminen tukevat muissa tehtävissä osoitetun taidon arviointia.
Muita opintojakson aikana tehtäviä arviointia tukevat ja palautettavia tehtäviä voivat olla:
• essee tai keskusteluharjoitus omista aiemmista opinnoista ja työkokemuksesta tiettyä sanastoa käyttäen,
• lukustrategioihin liittyvä tehtävä,
• ryhmässä tai pareittain tuntien yhteydessä tehtävä kirjallinen viesti – sähköposti tai kirje,
• Team project 2, eli esimerkiksi videotutoriaali tai työpaja ja aiheeseen liittyvä sanalista
Näitä tehtäviä ei arvioida asteikolla 1−5, mutta tehtävät on suoritettava. Ne antavat pohjan kielitaidon kehittymisen seuraamiselle ja tukevat opintojakson suorittamisen arviointia sekä opiskelijan itsearviointia. Sama rooli on kaikilla opintojakson aikana tehtävillä suullisilla ja kirjallisilla harjoituksilla.
