  Opintojaksolla on käytössä Teams ja 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. (not translated)

  Planned learning activities and teaching methods

  Ilmoittautuessasi tälle opintojakson toteutukselle osallistut työjärjestyksen mukaiseen opetukseen ja ohjaukseen. Opiskelusi rytmittyy työjärjestyksen mukaisten ryhmätapaamisten ja itsenäisesti tehtävien oppimistehtävien mukaan.
  Työhön integroitu oppimisväylä on mahdollinen, jos voit työtehtävissäsi kehittää opintojakson tavoitteissa ja sisällöissä mainittua osaamista. Ota opintojakson opettajaan yhteyttä hyvissä ajoin ennen opintojakson alkua sen määrittämiseksi
  • onko työhön integroitu oppimisväylä omassa työtehtävässäsi mahdollinen.
  • millaisia näyttöjä osaamisestasi sinun on mahdollista antaa.
  • mitä opintojakson osia sinun tulee mahdollisesti lisäksi suorittaa opetukseen osallistuen.
  Opintoja nopeuttavana vaihtoehtona voit esimerkiksi ilmoittautua aikaisemmin opintonsa aloittaneelle ryhmälle tarjottavalle vastaavalle toteutukselle. (not translated)

  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.
  Opintojakson arvioitavia tehtäviä voivat olla:
  • ryhmässä tehtävä työelämäviestintään ja viestintätilanteiden sanastoon keskittyvä koe,
  • ryhmässä tehtävä oman alan sanastoa käsittelevä Team project, 1 eli esimerkiksi videotutoriaali ja sanalista, joiden tekoprosessiin kuuluu myös englanninkielinen kokous,
  • ammattisanastoon keskittyvä itsenäisesti tehtävä koe opintojakson lopulla.
  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 ryhmässä tai pareittain tehtävä kirjallinen tehtävä, esimerkiksi raportti, johon voi liittyä myös suullinen osuus.
  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. (not translated)

  Further information for students

  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. (not translated)
