Paper Description
This paper will introduce students to major world cultures and languages in a comparative context.
Paper Structure
After an introduction about languages and cultures, there will be contributions from Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish, the four specializations offered by the International Languages and Cultures Programme (INTLC). Due to the pandemic lectures will be conducted online and assessments will be uploaded on Moodle. In addition,
- the course material will be available to students in a timely manner - at the latest by the day and time of what would have been the scheduled lecture.
- tutorial material will be properly sequenced so that it is available in time for students to view it before attending relevant face-to-face activities.
- options for remote access to learning activities will be clearly indicated and explained in Moodle.
