Summary module description:
This module aims to provide students with an opportunity to apply their existing degree-based knowledge and learning and extend it within their chosen specialisation.听
Aims:
This module aims to provide students with an opportunity to apply their existing degree-based knowledge and learning and extend it within their chosen specialisation. Pursuing a placement in education, they will enhance their understanding of the usage of language and/or literature in a workplace environment, with an eye towards relevant professional development. A self-arranged placement forms a compulsory part of this module and a placement report contributes to the assessment of the module.听
Assessable learning outcomes:
By the end of the module it is expected that students will be able to:
- Critically evaluate how language and/or literature (and/or cinema, and/or cultural studies) are used in education;
- Collect and analyse authentic data from education settings;
- Evaluate their placement role within the education setting or institution in which they are placed;
- Provide academic reflection on the placement;
- Make individual oral presentations;
- Research, appraise and deploy in argument a variety of secondary sources;
- Organize and articulate a coherent argument in written work.
Additional outcomes:
- The module also aims to enhance potential employability on graduation by providing practical experience in education, encouraging development of greater understanding of workplace requirements, and enabling insights on the relationship between the student鈥檚 academic studies and their application in practice in a professional setting.
- Confidence, a sense of responsibility, and communication skills will be enhanced.
- Students who successfully complete the module should be able to demonstrate an awareness of how their transferable skills fit into the education setting or institution, and identify criteria necessary to enhance his/her value to the institution in the context of graduate employment.
Outline content:
The area of work undertaken on the placement will relate to a student鈥檚 degree discipline. Students will produce and submit a proposal prior to their placement, explaining where they intend to work, what they wish to investigate during their placement and how this potentially contributes to their employability. 听
