Oppimateriaalit

Opintojakson oppimateriaali on itslearningissä.
Opintojakson aikana opiskelija valitsee osittain itselleen kiinnostavia alaan liittyviä aiheita ja lähteitä.

Opetusmenetelmät

Itseopiskelu, tekemällä oppiminen, tehtävien tekeminen, ryhmätyöskentely ja projektityöskentely

Tenttien ajankohdat ja uusintamahdollisuudet

Tehtäväperustainen arviointi, ei uusintoja eikä tenttejä. Opiskelija ei voi korottaa yksittäisten arvioitavien tehtävien pistemäärää eikä opintojakson loppuarvosanaa (tutkintosäännön mukaisesti).

Pedagogiset toimintatavat ja kestävä kehitys

Pedagogiset toimintatavat kannustavat opiskelijaa aktiiviseen oppimiseen ja tiedon soveltamiseen monipuolisten menetelmien ja alakohtaisten tehtävien avulla.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

Opintojaksoa ei voi suorittaa itsenäisesti ja arvosanan saaminen edellyttää aktiivista osallistumista oppitunneille sekä annettujen tehtävien tekemistä ajallaan.

Opiskelijan ajankäyttö ja kuormitus

Lähiopetus ja tehtävät sekä itsenäinen työ. Opiskelijat tekevät ryhmätyötä projektin merkeissä. Opintojakson laajuus on 5 opintopistettä, mikä vastaa 133 tuntia opiskelijan työtä.

Viikottaiset oppitunnit (14 kertaa)

4 arvioitavaa tehtävää ja etätehtävät. Projektityöskentely. Tuntitehtävät ja opiskelijan omalla ajalla tehtävä työ.

Sisällön jaksotus

Opintojakson tavoitteena on aktivoida ja kehittää opiskelijan alakohtaisia kieli- ja viestintätaitoja englannin kielessä. Opiskelija saavuttaa ammattilisia taitoja monipuolisissa suullisissa ja kirjallisissa viestintätilanteista. Lisäksi opiskelija kehittää taitojaan jatkuvan, elinikäisen oppimisen kehittämiseksi. Opintojakson suoritettuaan opiskelijalla on riittävät taidot viestiä ammatin vaatimissa tehtävissä ja hän pystyy tuottamaan selkeää, jäsenneltyä ja tiivistä tekstiä, esittämään ja kuvailemaan alaan liittyvistä aiheista suullisesti ja pystyy ilmaisemaan ja vaihtamaan mielipiteitä käyttäen selkeää, asianmukaista kieltä. Opiskelija pystyy lukemaan alaan liittyviä tekstejä.

Opintojakson aiheet:
- Tyyli ja rekisterit
- Sähköposti- ja puhelinviestintä
- Messut ja tuote-esittelyt
- Raportointi
- Suullinen esittäminen
- Kokoustaminen
- Keskustelutaito
- Pump Design -projekti yhteistyössä Pekka Jukantuvan ja Antti Meriön kanssa

Viestintäkanava ja lisätietoja

Opiskelijalla tulee olla käytössään toimiva tietokone, mikrofoni ja kamera online-tunteja varten.

Opettajaan voi olla yhteydessä sähköpostitse: piia.pesso(a)turkuamk.fi

Opintojakso alkaa lukujärjestyksen mukaisesti syyskuussa 2024:

PKONTK24A: ke 4.9. klo 12.30
PKONTK24B: pe 6.9. klo 9.15

Tuntien aloitusajat ovat lukujärjestyksessä aina oikein ja päivitetty. Jos tunnin aloitusajaksi on merkitty 12.30, tunti alkaa siihen aikaan.

Arviointiasteikko

H-5

Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet

Arvioitavat oppimistehtävät (arviointi asteikolla 0-5 p per tehtävä)

1 Muodollinen sähköposti (20.9. kampuksella)
2 Projektikokous (viikolla 40 pienryhmätapaamisessa)
3 Suullinen esitys (viikoilla 45-46)
4 Kirjallinen raportti (5.12. mennessä)

Ennakkotehtävät ja muut tehtävät 10 kpl (0... +5 pistettä), vähintään 5 pitää olla tehtynä, jotta opintojakson voi suorittaa hyväksytysti.

Aktiivinen läsnäolo ja positiivinen osaamisen näyttö voi antaa lisäpisteitä 0-6. Pelkkä läsnäolo ei kerrytä lisäpisteitä, koska se on oletus eli jatkuva aktiivisuus ja osaamisen näyttö voi antaa lisäpisteitä.

Aktiivinen osallistuminen lähiopetukseen (vähintään 9:llä tunnilla pitää olla paikalla, 64% lähitunneista). Lähitunteja yhteensä 14 kertaa. Pakolliset tunnit on merkitty itslearning-työtilan viikkoaikatauluun. Läsnäolovelvoite perustuu opiskeltavan oppiaineen luonteeseen. Kieltä ja viestintää opetellaan harjoittelemalla usein muiden ihmisten kanssa.

Poissaoloja ei voi korvata lisätehtävillä ja tehtävien määräaikoihin ei tehdä poikkeuksia, vaan niitä on noudatettava. Jos opiskelija saa opintojakson suoritettua, arvosanaa ei voi korottaa tekemällä joitakin tehtäviä uudelleen (tutkintosäännön mukaisesti). Vähintään 3 tehtävää täytyy olla tehtynä 0-5 pistettä arvioitavista tehtävistä ja vähintään 5 tehtävää muista tehtävistä, jotta opintojakson voi suorittaa hyväksytysti.

Breaking the ice
CVs and Linkedin
Email and other forms of digital communication
Team Presentation
Elevator Pitch

Viestintäkanava ja lisätietoja

Emphasis is very much placed on clear, unambiguous and understandable communication. You will not be downgraded for grammatical, word order or other errors that do not interfere with overall understanding. Although emphasis in class is placed on spoken communication not everyone is a natural orator. You will not be marked down for a lack of fluency - effort and willingness to try are enough.
