Implementation methods, demonstration and Work&Study

Contact and distant sessions or virtual course.

If you have acquired the required competence in previous work tasks, recreational activities or on another course, you can show the competence with a demonstration and progress faster through your studies. More information and instructions for RPL are available at MyNet.

Materials

Compulsory material:
Gehring, Sonja & Heinzmann, Sanni. Suomen mestari 2. Finn Lectura. ISBN: 978-951-792-477-1. Chapters 1-4.
On-line exercises and other additional materials in Moodle.

Teaching methods and instruction

Emphasis will be given to all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
The class will provide students the opportunity to practice new vocabulary and grammatical structures through in-class discussion of assigned activities and readings. To succeed in this course, you must actively participate and you will be expected to attend class regularly, prepare for class, and speak as much Finnish as possible.
Through the communicative approach I hope to achieve a high degree of interaction in the classroom and make your learning of Finnish language and culture interesting and fun. We strive for a learning atmosphere that challenges you your skills in a supportive way. There are no wrong answers, only good attempts.
Contact hours: oral and written exercises individually and in pairs, group work, learning games.
Independent studies: homework and preparation for lessons, exams and assignments, online material.

Working life connections

Learning Finnish language and culture will give students skills and readiness to work in a Finnish speaking working environment.

Internationality

Global business approach to course themes and contributions by multicultural student groups.

Completion alternatives
