Welcome to the Course

1.1 Message from the Dean

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Carnegie Faculty.

I speak for all the staff when I say we trust you find our faculty and, indeed, the whole university a place of great opportunity, potential and growth for you as a student. We hope to see you not only grow academically, through your lectures, tutorials and assignments, but also see you develop as a person through all the other amazing activities that take place at Leeds Beckett University.

There are chances to take part in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities; from joining Students’ Union societies, work placement experiences, volunteering opportunities both in the UK and abroad, studying another language, representing your university in a sports team, or taking work opportunities through the Job Shop. All will help build your CV. So remember to use your time at university wisely, as the few years you are here will seem to go very fast when you look back on them. Make great new friends, learn a lot, grow as a person, be proud of your accomplishments and rise to all the opportunities and challenges that life as a Carnegie student will offer you.

Professor Andrew Slade Deputy Vice Chancellor

Class Tutor

Your class tutor is the first point of contact for academic matters. For all other matters relating to your course you should contact your Student Administrator or Student Liaison Officer.

We will respond to course-related queries within 3 working days and general queries within 10 working days.

The faculty will inform you of cancelled classes as soon as possible via the portal or call to the mobile phone number we have for you on our contact records. It is your responsibility to ensure that we have your most up-to-date mobile or home phone number.

If you wish to make an appointment with a staff member, you can do this by contacting the reception staff in Macaulay Hall.

When booking your appointment you will need to let us know:  Which member of staff you would like to see

 A brief reason for the appointment e.g. to discuss a concern with a specific class or assessment

 Your name

 Your telephone number

Please contact the reception team on 0113 812 7440 if you need to cancel your appointment.

Please note that academic staff availability will depend on teaching and other commitments, though the reception team will endeavor to find you an appointment as soon as they can. It may be that they suggest another member of staff who may be able to help, and who is able to meet you sooner.

1.5 Keeping in Touch

Academic and administrative staff at our University will use your personal email address to contact you. It is an important responsibility for you to check this account regularly. A further important responsibility is that you inform your student administrator whenever you change your address and contact details. You can also update your records yourself. To do this select the appropriate link from the My Account tab after logging in from the Student Hub at:

http://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/

This will ensure we can always contact you in an emergency, and that you receive any important University communications which we may need to send you.

Tutor availability: If your tutor is unable to take your class and no substitute is available, we will do our best to contact you by telephone or email to advise you of the cancellation so that you do not have a wasted journey and we would be very grateful if you could add your day time telephone number to the class register.

Adverse Weather Conditions: In the event of adverse weather conditions, it may be necessary for us to cancel all classes.

In such circumstances, it will not be possible for us to contact students individually, so we would ask you to phone us on 0113 8127440, check our website or listen to Radio Leeds to check whether classes have been cancelled.

Studying on this Course

The aim of this section of the handbook is to outline the course. As your course progresses, you will be given more detailed information about the course components and assessments by the tutors.

Students in this course register on staged target awards. This means that students who complete an award can move on to the next stage.

Students will explore different aspects of language and the cultures of the countries where the target language is spoken. In addition to developing a range of key skills and adopting different language learning strategies, independent learning will be encouraged in close relationship with classroom-based learning.

On successful completion of the Diploma HE in Language & Related Studies, students will be able to:

 communicate in the target language with other competent speakers of the language;  use for a variety of purposes a range of materials, written or spoken, in the target

language;

 begin to make use of language skills in a professional context;

 demonstrate a knowledge and limited understanding of the linguistic principles required to analyse the target language;

 demonstrate a basic knowledge and understanding of the aspects of literatures, cultures, linguistic contexts, history, politics, geography, social and economic structures of the societies of the country or countries;

 begin to demonstrate an awareness and understanding of the similarities and dissimilarities of those cultures or societies in comparison with their own.

The teaching methods will be learner-centered and will develop language skills, learning strategies and independent learning. The classes will concentrate on the use of language for communication using real-life tasks wherever possible. Pair and group work will be used extensively to maximize the amount of time the language is used in class. Guided learning tasks together with regular feedback will be given to support work done in class and to prepare for later classes.

The summative assessment is 100% coursework which may comprise several parts and will be set within the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

2.1 Programme Specification

The programme specification is a concise description of your course's aims and objectives and how you will be taught and assessed to achieve the required learning outcomes. It includes information on admissions, course structure and the maintenance of academic standards.

All programme specifications will be made available online via the Course Finder at:

Assessment and Feedback

3.1 Assessment

Assessment Strategy

Information on the various methods of assessment can be found in the programme specification (appendix A).

University Assessment Regulations

Our University’s assessment regulations are contained within the Academic Principles and Regulations (sections C3 and C4 in particular). The regulations are available at:

http://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/about/student-regulations.htm.

Assessment Schedule

Your tutor will provide you with the assessment schedule for your coursework.

Submitting Assignments

It is your responsibility as a student to comply with the scheme or course and module requirements for attendance and completion of assessments.

The handing in of completed assessment will be in accordance with agreed Faculty submission procedures. In all but exceptional cases these should be via the faculty receptions.

Written feedback provides information about performance, but more importantly, information about how to improve and learn from the assignment. Summative feedback reflects the criteria and marking scheme combined. It provides commentary under each criterion.

You should plan to ensure your availability to meet deadlines for assessment and possible reassessment. Students are advised not to book holidays or time away from the University during this period.

It is important that you keep copies of all work submitted until after you have graduated. In the event of your submitted work being lost you may be required to produce a copy of the work.

3.2 Giving your Feedback about this Course

We are keen to work with you to enhance your course. Opportunities for you to feedback to us formally include: course meetings, end of module evaluation, mid module review, internal student experience surveys, course rep forums, the NSS and other student surveys. Informal feedback is also welcome at any time either via your personal or module tutor or via your course rep.

(16)

16

3.3 What Happens with your Feedback about this Course?

Your feedback helps us to continually enhance this course. You can find out what actions have been taken in response to your feedback through your Course Rep, the Students’ Union, your tutors or through the Library. Your Faculty also provides updates on action taken through the “Like it” and “You Said, We Did” posters prominently displayed around our University.

3.4 Getting Feedback on your Assessed Work

Our University has committed to a four week turnaround for feedback. . The programme specification explains how feedback will be provided on both formative and summative assessments (see appendix A).

3.5 How do I Get my Results?

Confirmed results from module assessments and decisions on progression to the next level or awards (if you are in the final level) are available on the Results Online system from:

www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/studenthub/results-online.htm.

Results will only appear within Results Online five working days after the date of the Board of Examiners’ meeting (the meeting where your end of year outcome will be decided) or the Examination Committee meeting (the meeting where modular outcomes are decided). If you are unsure about when you might receive your results or have queries relating to your results, you should contact your Student Administrator.

3.6 Issues with Assessment

Extenuating Circumstances and Mitigation

If you are experiencing problems which are adversely affecting your ability to study (called 'extenuating circumstances'), then you can apply for mitigation. The University operates a fit to sit / fit to submit approach to extenuating circumstances which means students who take their assessment are declaring themselves fit to do so.

You can collect an extenuating circumstances form from your student admin office, your Student Liaison Officer or you can print one via the hub web pages. Completed forms along with appropriate evidence must be submitted to your student admin office within the timescales given in the guidance. Late submissions will normally be rejected. Outcomes from the mitigation panels, which are held once a month, will be e-mailed to you via your student e-mail account.

Examples of extenuating circumstances include personal or family illness, bereavement, family problems or being a victim of crime. Further guidance on extenuating circumstances and mitigation can be found at: http://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/studenthub/mitigation.htm.

(17)

17

Late Submission

Without any form of extenuating circumstances, standard penalties apply for late submission of assessed work. These range from 5% to 100% of the possible total mark, depending on the number of days late. Full details (section C1.5) of the penalties for late submission of course work are available at: www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/about/academic-regulations.htm.

Re-assessment

If you have not passed a module at the first attempt you will be eligible for re-assessment. You will need to make sure you are aware of the relevant re-assessment process (e.g. whether it is coursework, an examination, a presentation or other form of assessment / when it will take place / what the deadline is).

You will be advised via Results Online of your options for re-assessment. You are advised to contact your Course Leader, Student Administrator or personal tutor for any necessary clarification.

Student Appeals

If you feel that you have in some way been disadvantaged during your studies and this is reflected in your results, then you may have grounds for an academic appeal.

After your results are available on Results Online you have 15 working days to submit a request for an appeal hearing. You will find the information you need, including grounds for appeal, when and how to appeal and frequently asked questions at:

http://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/studenthub/appeals.htm.

You are strongly advised to seek guidance from the Students’ Union Advice Service on whether you have grounds for an appeal and the completion of the paperwork – see Section 4 for Students’ Union Advice Service contact details.

Cheating, Plagiarism and other forms of Unfair Practice

Our University wants to give you credit for your learning and for work which you have done yourself. Academic misconduct occurs when you have not done the work yourself.

Academic misconduct can take many forms and may be intentional or unintentional. The different forms may include: cheating, plagiarism and other forms of unfair practice. Plagiarism includes ‘self-plagiarism’ where a student submits work for credit that they have already received credit for either in this University or anywhere else. Plagiarism also includes a lack of ‘in-text’ referencing. Unfair practice includes collusion, ghost writing and falsification of data.

(18)

18 To help you understand very clearly what is and is not permitted and how to use other people’s ideas in your assessed work, it is strongly recommended that you familiarise yourself with The Little Book of Cheating, Plagiarism and Unfair Practice, available from the Student Hub at: http://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/studenthub/plagiarism.htm.

The serious consequences of plagiarism and other types of unfair practice are detailed in section C9 of the Academic Regulations at: http://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/about/academic-regulations.htm.

If you are unsure on how to reference your work correctly please seek advice from your tutors or from Skills for Learning (see Section 4).

Introduction

This programme is by a part-time mode of study only and typically caters for any student wishing to study a language in the Carnegie Faculty that supports the University’s mission of providing life-long learning opportunities whilst contributing to our widening participation policy. This course starts at pre-intermediate and progresses through to advanced level. Students will explore different aspects of language and the cultures of the countries where the target language is spoken. In addition to developing a range of key skills and adopting different language learning strategies, independent learning will be encouraged in close relationship with classroom-based learning.

Graduate Profile

The BA (Hons) in Language and Related Studies graduate will have enhanced career opportunities upon successful completion of the course. The programme enables the graduate to exhibit a high level of understanding of the target language and will have developed a wide range of skills which will be of great value in a range of careers. They will be able to exhibit appropriate levels of achievement in productive (speaking and writing) and receptive language skills (reading and listening) and translation. Many graduates will have developed language skills which are applicable in a professional context.

Various careers are open to graduates with language competence which will offer a wide range of exciting opportunities. Intense competition has led to the emergence of

international and home based companies who operate in a world wide market and who will demand graduates who appreciate intercultural awareness and understanding as well as explicit knowledge of the target language.

Students enrolling on the Certificate, Certificate in Higher Education, Diploma and Diploma in Higher Education will normally be aiming to supplement their previous experience or learning with a view to further study in the target language and typically should be eligible for an award every 2 years.

8. Aims of the Programme

Educational Aims

(28)

28

 broaden access to Higher Education for students by offering a flexible framework of awards;

 give students a high quality learning experience based upon a coherent and integrated programme of study;

 provide the opportunity to develop intercultural awareness and understanding of the language;

 provide a supportive environment which helps students develop their understanding, expression, communication and confidence;

 develop learners who are able to show language competence which will enhance their employability and contribution to society in general;

 widen participation through a part time mode of study.

9. Intended Learning Outcomes

The notion of ‘level’ of study or achievement is one that may be used to calibrate progression through the course. Within the programme, academic and intellectual progression is secured by imposing increasing demands on the learner, over time, in terms of the acquisition of knowledge and skills, the capacity for conceptualisation and increasing autonomy in learning. Put simply, as students progress within the programme of study they will tackle work of increasing complexity and will do so with greater reliance on their own learning abilities.

The learning outcomes of the International Faculty Scheme Document apply (Section 2.4 of the Scheme Document) which have been based on the QAA National Qualifications Framework.

Level 4 Learning Outcomes

This programme of study and the curriculum in language programmes will generally depend on the nature of the language, local conditions, staffing strengths and the current state of the evolution of the subject as this is driven by the research and other factors. Programmes in Languages and Related Studies will achieve the balance between four key elements as identified in the benchmark statements.

 Use of the target language for purposes of understanding, expression and communication;

 Have knowledge of aspects of the cultures, communities and societies where the language is used;

 Demonstrate some knowledge of language structures and linguistic functions;

 Demonstrate an intercultural awareness and understanding of one or more cultures in addition to their own.

(29)

29 These learning outcomes will be built up through the Certificate to the Certificate of Higher Education.

Level 5 Learning Outcomes

In addition to further development of level 4 learning outcomes, on successful completion of level 5 students will be able to:

 communicate in the target language with other competent speakers of the language;  use for a variety of purposes a range of materials, written or spoken, in the target

language;

 begin to make use of language skills in a professional context;

 demonstrate a knowledge and limited understanding of the linguistic principles required to analyse the target language;

 demonstrate a basic knowledge and understanding of the aspects of literatures, cultures, linguistic contexts, history, politics, geography, social and economic structures of the societies of the country or countries;

 begin to demonstrate an awareness and understanding of the similarities and dissimilarities of those cultures or societies in comparison with their own.

These learning outcomes will be built up through the Diploma to the Diploma of Higher Education.

Level 6 Learning Outcomes

Typical holders of Bachelors Degrees will be able to:

 achieve effective communication in the target language with native or other competent speakers;

 exploit for a variety of purposes a range of materials written or spoken in the target language;

 make use of their language skills in a professional context;

 demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the structures, registers and, as appropriate, varieties of the target language;

 demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of the linguistic principles required to analyse the language;

 demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of one or more aspects of the literatures, cultures, linguistic contexts, history, politics, geography, social and economic structures of the societies in relation to the target language speaking countries;

 demonstrate an awareness and understanding of the similarities and dissimilarities of those cultures or societies in comparison with their own.

In addition typical holders of Bachelors Degrees with Honours will be able to:

 Initiate, plan, design, research and sustain an extended piece of independent intellectual work based on individual initiative in the target language.

(30)

30 Skill Development Outcomes

The programme of study provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, skills, qualities and other attributes and on successful completion of the BA (Hons) in Language and Related Studies students will be able to demonstrate the following skills.

(31)

31 D Key Skills

The general aims and objectives of the Scheme, and the specific objectives of the course within the Scheme, explicitly state the Faculty’s commitment to a wide range of methods of skills development. The key skills strategy ensures that all students will be exposed to a complete range of skills including transferable skills, personal/ interpersonal skills and study skills.

Key Skills Development

The Faculty have developed a range of key skills. These are transferable skills, which play an essential role in developing personal effectiveness for adult and working life. The key skill areas that may specifically be developed are:

 Operational;

 Planning and Management of Learning;  Communication and Presentation;  Interactive and Group Skills;

 Data Collection and Interpretation;  Knowledge and Understanding;

 Managing Tasks and Solving Problems;  Self Appraisal and Reflection on Practice;  Synthesis and Creativity;

 Employability.

Mapping of Key Skills by Module

The key skills for this programme have been mapped against the modules in the tables in the appendices of the course document and highlights where students have the opportunity to provide evidence of competence in each skill.

E. Assessment, Learning and Teaching

The teaching methods will be learner-centred and will develop language skills, learning strategies and independent learning. The classes will concentrate on the use of language for communication using real-life tasks wherever possible. Pair and group work will be used extensively to maximise the amount of time the language is used in class. Guided learning tasks together with regular feedback will be given to support work done in class and to prepare for later classes. In addition, students should use the University’s facilities for individual study.

The teaching methods deployed match the aims and learning outcomes of each module, and will vary between modules. Key skills are dispersed throughout the modules, and are clearly articulated in the module specifications and to students in the course handbook.

(32)

32 There is a significant component of formative assessment, mainly in the form of language learning tasks within the classroom setting. This aims to develop awareness of assessment practices to enable students to plan, undertake, and submit work which matches the standards and expectations of the University. Informal formative feedback is always an integral part of language learning, as students constantly receive feedback on their use of language in the classroom. More formally, the students receive weekly feedback on a wide range of formative assessment tasks, both in the classroom as tutor feedback to the whole group or to individuals on written or oral assignments. The summative assessment deadlines are staggered so that students have the opportunity to benefit from the feedback received and to feed this into their future learning.

The summative assessment will be 100% coursework which may comprise several parts and will be set within the Common European Framework for Languages. The precise nature of the coursework and its possible parts will be determined on an annual basis.

10.Programme Structure and Requirements, Levels, Modules, Credits and Awards

The final award of the BA (Hons) Language and Related Studies is studied over three levels with each level consisting of eight modules, with 360 credits being studied to achieve the award. Each module has a value of 15 or 30 credit points, equivalent to 150 or 300 hours of student learning respectively, giving the equivalent of 1,200 hours of study for each level. Students enrol on individual target awards (e.g. Certificate) and will normally complete 2 modules per year, completing an award every 2 years.

Each level has been developed within the Scheme framework and in conjunction with other target qualifications offered. As such there is some commonality across the courses. All modules are referred to as Core Modules.
