Report on the Third Year of the ESF-Funded Project to Consolidate and Develop Foreign Language Modules for Students of Other Disciplines and the First Year of the Language Modules Research and Development Project.
Trinity Coll., Dublin (Ireland). Centre for Language and Communication Studies.
This report details the third year (October 1, 1995-September 30, 1996) of a Trinity College (Ireland) program to offer second language learning modules to students who are not language majors. The modules' objectives are to develop students' communication skills for study, travel, or work abroad during undergraduate years, and to enhance their academic qualifications, vocational prospects, and potential for future mobility. Students can take the language modules for 1 or 2 years; each year of study is complete in itself. Courses in French, German, and Italian are designed for students in specific non- language curriculum areas (the arts, engineering, science, and health sciences). The report outlines the courses offered in 1995-96 and their recruitment, participation, and completion rates, and describes the modules' design and content. It also describes the design and results of testing, and presents brief reports of external evaluations of the French and German modules. A final section describes activities of research and development activities on the project in 1995-96. (MSE)
