Learning and Teaching: KOO-KIT Study Programme
What? What is KOO-KIT?
KOO-KIT is a study programme that focuses on integrating technology in
language teaching and learning. It is organised by the Centre for Applied
Language Studies at the University of Jyväskylä. KOO-KIT is
part of a national KIT-network. The ongoing year 2005-2006 is the fifth
KOO-KIT year.
Why? What is the goal?
The aim of the study programme is to develop new forms of teacher expertise.
We do this through providing skills, knowledge and awareness needed for
a successful integration of new thinking, new technologies and new approaches
to teaching and learning languages.
What content areas?
The study programme is 20 - 40 study point (ECTS) programme. Integrating
technology in language learning and teaching calls for new perspectives
in developing electronic learning materials, as well as benefitting from
the learning environments avialable and knowledge on lanaguage assessment.
What working modes?
We link theory to practice through project based learning in collaboration
with the Jyväskylä University Language Centre and the Department
of Languages.
For whom is KOO-KIT intended? Where can
you study?
The study programme is tailored for undergraduate students, more specifically
for tomorrow’s languauge teachers and those who are interested in
various educational careers, applied linguistics and new technologies.
Students from other universities can apply for admission to the programme
through the national KIT network. All students are required to participate
in the weekly teaching sessions in Jyväskylä. Unfortunately
no distance participation is possible for the time being.
