COLLEGE OF APPLIED LINGUISTICS & LANGUAGES
FIELD BASED LANGUAGE ACQUISITION INTERNSHIP PHASE 1 (APL 233)
Prerequisites: HMT 271 or CHR 235 or APL 231 with at least one week of non-formal language learning training; alternatively, see APL 133
Crédits: 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.
