Developed specifically for first year students from the Science Faculty embarking on the University's Study in Continental Europe programme, this unit aims to provide wider and more subject-specific exposure to the target language prior to the third year spent abroad. Using the European Language Portfolio (ELP), it aims to promote intercultural learning and stimulate learner involvement and reflection as students are required to keep an assessed record of their language learning, progression and development. The unit offers an alternative and more flexible approach to language study as it is based on a mixture of tutorials and autonomous self-directed learning using Blackboard, Wimba, Question Mark and Course Genie. Prompt registration in October 2008 is advised as this unit is popular and places are limited.
