Annotation

The course is accredited by KU Leuven. Course leader: Prof. Mike McNamee (KU Leuven). This module aims to consolidate students’ English language and conceptual ability in Sports Ethics and Integrity. Students are made aware of academic conventions and provided with skills and techniques to identify and then to re-purpose ideas from within academic discourse. Students are guided through an academic orientation process within the specific context of Sports Ethics and Integrity, to be better able to express academic concepts using grammar and vocabulary more accurately.

For students to be exposed to the features of academic language to include vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation and to develop skills and recognise how to check for such features in their presentations and writing.
For students to practise uncovering the meaning through tasks designed to develop techniques and skills in deconstructing various academic texts.
For students to practise identifying and reconstructing salient and apposite ideas within the text to support their own argument.

Requirements to the exam

Type: Continuous assessment without exam during the examination period
Description of evaluation: Paper/Project, Presentation

The assessment consists of

• Individual Presentation: 50%
• Written Task: 50%

Given the nature of MAiSI teaching and learning, all students are expected to be participating in all activities.

The second opportunity is to repeat the written assessment with a different article with the rationale that it is likely that the original article was inappropriately identified, not understood in sufficient detail or task achievement ill-focused. This has been the case to date. This is capped at 50%.
