COLLEGE OF HUMANITIES AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES
FIELD BASED LANGUAGE ACQUISITION INTERNSHIP PHASE 1 (HMT 233)
Prerequisites: HMT 271 or CHR 235 or HMT 231 with at least one week of non-formal language learning training; alternatively, see HMT 133
Credits: 6 - 12
This course gives opportunity for credit to be gained from language learning that takes place beyond the classroom - on the street, in the marketplace, through relationships, in a non-formal context. Students are trained in language acquisition skills during Foundations for Intercultural Studies (HMT 271) or an equivalent course, and then complete a period of practical language learning, using a relationship oriented method of study. They are required to demonstrate regular advance in their skills in the chosen language. Assessment of language competence is made at the end of an agreed period, and a grade and number of credits awarded on the basis of progress.
