  Teaching methods and instruction

  The studies are conducted through face-to-face teaching. In Moodle, there are mandatory assignments that must be completed successfully with a sufficient number of points, and supplementary assignments that can improve one's assessment. Completing the assignments requires familiarization with the learning materials and literature relevant to one's field. Through various assignments, students are expected to plan and execute a comprehensive coaching process for two athletes, applying the theoretical concepts studied. The teacher guides the progress of the assignments during face-to-face classes and using the assessment criteria and evaluation matrix available on Moodle.

  In Helga
  
  - participation in the activities of Student Union HELGA, SAMOK (National Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences) or Student Sports Federation (OLL, Opiskelijoiden Liikuntaliitto)
  
  - attending the meetings of Haaga-Helia working committees

  communication channels. Traditionally, positions such as board member, vice-chairperson or
  chairperson are applied for by using an application form and participating in general
  meetings and elections. The positions usually last one calendar year.
  
  When you have been selected for a specific position in the organization and you have
  worked actively in that position, at the end of the term you can apply for credits from the
  Organizational Activities 1, 2 and 3 courses. You can get a maximum of 15 credits. There is

  1. Choose which course you want to complete by comparing the course's learning objectives
  with your own experience. You can complete several study courses at once, but in this case
  it must be well justified. Traditionally, one course can be completed per term, and at each
  level of the courses (1, 2 and 3), the demands of the tasks increase.
  
  2. When you have decided which course(s) you want to complete, you must fill out the
  application. Students can find the application form in the material bank of Helga's website
  (link: https://helga.fi/en/materials/ ). Fill out the application and send it by email to Helga's

  Learning objectives

  Opintojaksolla opiskellaan omaan alaasi liittyviä aihepiirejä. Tämän vuoksi on erityisen tärkeää, että valitset omalle tutkinnollesi suunnatun toteutuksen kurssitarjonnasta.
  
  Tämän opintojakson suorittanut tai vastaavan osaamisen hankkinut opiskelija osaa
  - viestiä oman alasi keskeisissä tilanteissa sekä keskustella ko. alaan ja omaan työhösi liittyvistä aiheista ruotsin kielellä.
  - seurata omaa alaasi sekä tuottaa alasi keskeisiä dokumentteja ruotsin kielellä.
  - toimia pohjoismaisessa työelämäkontekstissa keskeiset kulttuurierot huomioiden.

  Starting level and linkage with other courses

  Opintojakson lähtötaso on B1 Eurooppalaisen kielten viitekehyksen taitotasoilla.
  Edeltävyysehtona on hyväksytty lähtötasokoe tai hylätyn lähtötasokokeen jälkeen hyväksytysti suoritettu valmentava opintojakso tai vastaava osaaminen.

  Contents

  Kaikki opintojakson osa-alueet linkittyvät opiskeltavaan alaan ja sisältävät oman alan terminologiaa.
  - Suullinen viestintä: työelämän viestintä, oman alan ajankohtaisista aiheista keskusteleminen.
  - Kirjallinen viestintä: oman alan seuraaminen eri medioissa, alakohtaisten lyhyiden tekstien laatiminen.
  - Kulttuuriosaaminen: pohjoismainen liike-elämän viestintäkulttuuri ja – käytänteet, vastuullinen liiketoiminta Pohjoismaissa.

  Assessment criteria

  Assessment criteria - grade 1

  (Eurooppalainen viitekehys, taitotaso B1) Suullinen kielitaito riittää yksinkertaisiin rutiinitilanteisiin, vuorovaikutus on haastavaa. Ymmärtämisvaikeuksia esiintyy ja väärinkäsityksiä syntyy melko helposti. Ääntämisessä on runsaasti puutteita.
  Tekstin ymmärtäminen edellyttää apuvälineitä. Rakenteissa ja sanastossa on runsaasti aukkoja, minkä vuoksi tuotettu teksti on vaikeaa ymmärtää.

  Assessment criteria - grade 3

  (Eurooppalainen viitekehys, taitotaso B1) Selviytyy tutuissa työhön ja vapaa-aikaan liittyvissä tilanteissa. Ymmärtää suuren osan kuulemastaan ja pystyy reagoimaan toivotulla tavalla ilman valmistautumista. Tulee ymmärretyksi, vaikka ääntäminen voi olla joidenkin äänteiden osalta ehkä puutteellista.
  Ymmärtää keskeisen sisällön sekä yleisluontoisia aiheita että omaa alaa koskevista teksteistä. Kirjalliset tuotokset ovat ymmärrettäviä. Sekä alakohtainen että yleissanasto on melko laaja. Rakenteissa on osittain puutteita.

  Assessment criteria - grade 5

  (Eurooppalainen viitekehys, taitotaso B2) Suullinen kielenkäyttö on sujuvaa. Pienehköjä virheitä saattaa esiintyä, mutta ne eivät haittaa kommunikointia. Käyttää kieltä oma-aloitteisesti ja pystyy verkostoitumaan. Selviytyy hyvin ja idiomaattisesti sekä oman alan että vapaa-ajan kielenkäyttö- ja keskustelutilanteissa. Ymmärtää hyvin omaan alaan liittyvän puheen. Ääntäminen on pääosin luontevaa.
  Ymmärtää vaivatta omaa alaa käsitteleviä tekstejä. Pystyy itse tuottamaan rakenteellisesti ja sanastollisesti monipuolista, melko virheetöntä tekstiä, jossa satunnaiset rakennevirheet eivät häiritse lukemista. Osaa käyttää alan keskeistä terminologiaa oikein.

  Sinun tulee valita oman tutkintosi Svenska för arbetslivet -toteutus, jotta pääset opiskelemaan oman alasi aihepiirejä.

In Moodle, there are mandatory assignments that must be completed successfully with a sufficient number of points, and supplementary assignments that can improve one's assessment. Completing the assignments requires familiarization with the learning materials and literature relevant to one's field. Through various assignments, students are expected to plan and execute a comprehensive coaching process for two athletes, applying the theoretical concepts studied. The teacher guides the progress of the assignments during face-to-face classes and using the assessment criteria and evaluation matrix available on Moodle.

  Organizational Activities 1, 2 and 3 courses. You can get a maximum of 15 credits. There is
  no registration for courses, but their completion is applied in a following way:
  
  1. Choose which course you want to complete by comparing the course's learning objectives
  with your own experience. You can complete several study courses at once, but in this case
  it must be well justified. Traditionally, one course can be completed per term, and at each
  level of the courses (1, 2 and 3), the demands of the tasks increase.
  
  2. When you have decided which course(s) you want to complete, you must fill out the
  application. Students can find the application form in the material bank of Helga's website
  (link: https://helga.fi/en/materials/ ). Fill out the application and send it by email to Helga's
  specialist of influencing and advocacy.
  
  3. The specialist checks the application and either accepts it or requests clarification or an
  addition to the application.
  
  4. When the specialist has approved the application, they forward it to Haaga-Helia's
  teacher/counselor, who adds the credits to the student

  The tutoring study course lasts 1.5 academic years. Autumn is used for training and teaming
  up with the tutor group, and spring and the following autumn for tutoring. Each Head Tutor
  commits to their duties and for being an active Head Tutor for the entire duration.
  
  At the end of the Head Tutoring period, each Head Tutor fills out a report that determines
  how many credits are awarded for the activity. Head Tutoring is worth 5 credits. The Head
  Tutor report is available on Helga's website:https://helga.fi/en/materials/
  The reports are sent to Helga, who checks the report and finally forwards it to Haaga-Helia,
  who transfers the credits to the student's register.
