Studies in a foreign language English (4 cr) can be completed either by taking a course or by completing exemption test. Additionally, they can completed by taking the Autonomous Learning ModuleS (ALMS). They are based on individual learning needs, learner reflection and self-evaluation. ALMS course units can be found in your faculty's English course or in the KK-ENKAIKKI course. In ALMS you can complete either 2 or 4 credits. For more information on ALMS visit the ALMS website and the ALMS in a nutshell video. NB! If your degree is missing 2 cr foreign language (English), you can complete your faculty’s 2 cr course or you can complete 2 cr in the ALMS course unit of your faculty’s course, KK-ENKAIKKI or KK-ENKAIKKI1/2 course.

KK-ENG404 Intercultural Communication: Themes to Explore Cultures (CEFR B2) (2 cr)

To understand yourself, you have to understand culture: To understand culture, you have to understand yourself. In Themes to Explore Culture, one of two such courses we offer, we will start to unpick this conundrum through games, discussions and interactive lessons. Throughout the course, you will also gain insights through reflection on both who you are, and the influence culture has on you. You need to have completed your basic language studies to participate in the course. Although we recommend that you take this course before Tools for Understanding Culture both courses can be taken in any order or completely independently.

KK-ENG403 Intercultural Communication: Tools for Understanding Culture (CEFR B2) (2 cr)

Culture can seem abstract and even random. In Tools for Understanding Culture, one of two such courses we offer, we explore ways to make sense of culture and understand it as a series of dimensions. The course will consist of project work, discussions, interactive lessons and guided reflection. You need to have completed your basic language studies to participate in the course. Although we recommend that you take Themes to Explore Culture before this course, both courses can be taken in any order or completely independently.
