STEP 2: Me as a language user and communicator (OKLV211)

STEP 2: Towards competence in academic interaction: strengthening language identity (OKLV211 Interaction skills in education 1)

The second step on the Language Aware Pathway is to examine the importance of communication and interaction in education studies and professional practice. On the course, students observe and reflect on their own interaction skills as well as the various tasks, challenges and forms of communication and interaction in different educational and academic communities. The skills required for working in the academic textual environment are a central element of Step 2. Writing is approached as an interactive process involving discussion and interpretation of and around texts as well as the production of students’ own writing with the help of peers.

 Tasks

During the course, students start building a Me as a language and communication specialist profile online. The online tasks help the student gain insights into themselves as a communicator, interactor and language user and to build a picture of their strengths and areas for development in interaction. Students consider, for example, how they use language, different languages, and forms of language in different contexts.
