Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
Teaching method 1 - Study Placement. When making their module choices at their host university, students are required to register for at least one language module. In their second year at Liverpool, students attend sessions preparing them for their third year of study abroad. These sessions include: (a) extensive instructions about all relevant details in respect to the Erasmus pathway at
a foreign university, (b) a peer mentoring scheme meeting at which Year 2 students, by establishing direct contact with final year peer mentors, can learn about any aspect of the year abroad experience, (c) pre-departure briefing meetings at which outgoing students are instructed by staff, for example, about the format of learning and teaching at their Erasmus partner universities, the selection of appropriate modules or the completion of the Erasmus Learning Agreement |
Syllabus |
|
The syllabuses for the various modules each student selects while away as an Erasmus student are set up by the convenors in charge at the host university. |
