Initial Periodic Programme Review for Bachelor of Education (Honours) (English Language)

(只有英文版 English version only)

During the two-day on-site visit, the ERP met the core team members of the BEd(EL) Programme Committee, graduates and student representatives, and observed a lesson of a major (core) course. Affirmative comments were received from the ERP for further enhancement and development of the programme. The learning outcomes were considered to be well-articulated and readily operationalised in assessment tasks for the various modules. The overseas immersion experience was a significant feature of the programme and one which students and graduates felt added much to their study experience. The field experience semester was considered a very good model for teaching practicum as it allowed students to be immersed in the experience of a school and to gain a real sense of being a teacher and doing teaching work.

The ERP also identified a number of elements of good practice. The key elements included:

• thoughtful and committed approach to teaching
• immersion in an English-speaking country
• semester-long field experience with pre-FE school attachment
• pastoral care
• responsiveness to feedback from QA mechanisms
   

Other constructive recommendations were made by the ERP, and the Programme Team will continue to work to improve the programme.
