A finnországi kötelezô egyetemi nyelvi képzés egy lehetséges megvalósítási módja : a Jyväskyläi Egyetem Nyelvi Központjának új képzési programja II. rész

Abstract

An alternative way of organizing compulsory university language studies in Finland: a new development project at the Language Centre of the University of Jyväskylä II. Following on from the first part of the article published in the previous issue, which outlined the education policy background of the mandatory language studies in Finnish higher education institutions, the second instalment provides a concrete example by introducing the Language Centre of the University of Jyväskylä and offering an insight into their pedagogical practices. Responding to the recent economic, social and political changes and trying to keep abreast with the latest research, the Language Centre is currently experimenting with an innovative way of teaching language and communication skills for students in bachelor’s degree programmes. Their approach may be of interest to practising language teachers as well as to Hungarian educational researchers and policy-makers.
