Coordinator Kenny Wang Opens in new window
Description This Level 3 Languages and Linguistics unit is, primarily, a self-study unit designed to cater for a special area of interest in languages and linguistics not otherwise covered in the units on offer in the languages program or in the BA (Interpreting and Translation) and/or where the student may otherwise find it difficult to complete his or her program of study. Once the topic chosen by the student is approved by the Unit Coordinator a supervisor is nominated and an individually-tailored learning contract, including appropriate language-specific and/or linguistics readings and tasks, is drawn up in collaboration with the supervisor and is submitted to the Unit Coordinator for approval. This approval process should happen, ideally, at least one week prior to the beginning of the teaching semester.
