Opiskelumateriaali

Opiskelumateriaali julkaistaan Learn-ympäristössä opintojakson alkaessa.

Yksilölliset oppimisväylät

• Tämä on ammattienglannin monialainen toteutus, jossa alakohtaisen osaamisen omaksuminen vaatii opiskelijalta suurempaa omatoimisuutta kuin oman koulutuksen ammattienglannin toteutus. Toteutustapa edellyttää oman alan tuntemusta, joten sitä ei suositella opintojen alkuvaiheeseen.

• Opintojakso toteutetaan kokonaan aikaan ja paikkaan sitomattomana verkko-opetuksena. Opettajan ohjausta on saatavilla verkon välityksellä.

• Opiskelu tapahtuu Learn-ympäristössä. Pääsy opintojaksoalustalle aukeaa opintojakson alkamispäivänä. Osallistuminen edellyttää nettiyhteyden lisäksi kuva- ja ääniyhteyttä.

• Opiskelua rytmittävät itsenäisesti tehtävät oppimistehtävät, Exam-tentti ja suullinen näyttö videoyhteydellä opettajan kanssa.

• Arvioitavat tehtävät tehdään itsenäisesti. Tehtävät on palautettava annetussa aikataulussa.

• Opintojaksolla hyödynnetään erilaisia palautteenantotapoja. Niitä voivat olla esimerkiksi automatisoitu palaute, kirjallinen ja suullinen palaute. Lisäksi voidaan hyödyntää myös vertaispalautteenantoa.

TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö

Opintojakson tehtävät ja aiheet liittyvät työelämän viestintätilanteisiin.

Tentit ja muut määräajat

Opintojakson voi aloittaa 10.3.2025. Opintojakso kannattaa aloittaa viimeistään 1.10. jotta tehtävien tekemiselle jää riittävästi aikaa. Opintojakson päätteeksi suoritetaan Exam-tentti. Opintojakson tehtävät voi tehdä omaan tahtiin. Opintojakso päättyy toteutuksen tiedoissa ilmoitettuna aikana, johon mennessä kaikki oppimistehtävät, suullinen näyttö ja tentti on oltava tehtynä.

Opiskelijan työmäärä

• 1 op vastaa noin 27 tuntia opiskelijan työtä. Työmäärä kuitenkin riippuu opiskelutaidoista ja aiemmasta osaamisesta.
• 5 op:n opintojaksolla opiskelijan työmäärä on n. 135 tuntia.
