Description This module has two main aims. Firstly, the module aims to assist students in becoming fully autonomous language learners and to enable them to achieve the level of written and oral fluency and cultural awareness that will be required of them in an intercultural workplace at home or abroad. It also aims to further develop the students’ ability to apply a range of transferable skills such as time management, team work, project management, oral presentation skills, and report-writing. Secondly, this module aims to develop students’ knowledge of the social, political, and economic phenomenon of globalisation, and related ethical conflicts. This module will enable the student to understand the complex nature of the economic, social, and political phenomena that underpin our institutions and societies; to recognise, identify, and evaluate ethical conflicts in business; and understand what constitutes ethical and unethical practice. Topics that will be discussed include, amongst others, consumerism, environmental impact, threats to linguistic diversity, sustainable development, and ethical tourism. In order to develop the aforementioned skills, students will learn through peer-teaching methods, Content and Language Integrated (CLIL) teaching, and critical pedagogy. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
