Studiearbeidet i emne 1 er hovedsakelig knyttet til språkutvikling og videre ordinnlæring, lesing og skriving som integrerte grunnleggende ferdigheter, og tekstkompetanse i engelsk. Det legges vekt på konsolidering og utvikling av ordforråd og språkbevissthet, evnen til å forstå og bruke grammatiske strukturer, og forståelse av tekst i vid forstand. Videre står progresjonen av elevers leseferdigheter og leseforståelse i fokus. Innsikt i flerspråklighet og tverrfaglige temaer, vurdering og tilpasset opplæring, og elevaktive og digitale læringsformer gjennomsyrer arbeidet med hovedtemaene. Studentene får en innføring i nyttige digitale verktøy og benytter dem selv i sitt studiearbeid, både i produksjon av tekst og til refleksjon. Arbeidet med studentenes eget pedagogiske utviklingsprosjekt starter i emne 1 ved at de velger det engelskdidaktiske emnet de ønsker å konsentrere seg om i emne 2.

Emne 1 fokuserer på:

• ord- og begrepsinnlæring
• skriftlig engelsk og lese- og skriveferdigheter
• tekstkompetanse og sjangerbevissthet

Individual written exam, 3 hours

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed.

None.

Grade scale A-F.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
