Additional Information:English Work Experience is a portfolio module that offers students a choice of options through which to undertake their work-based or work-related learning.
These options will normally include the following:
• Prescot Community, Heritage and Theatre
• Social Media Skills
• Self-Arranged Placements.
• Teaching (skills appropriate to school teaching)
Each option is delivered mainly through tutor-led workshops. The work experience or work-related learning component is specific to each option: Prescot Community entails working on a community project in Prescot; Social Media Skills entails using social media through LJMU’s IT facilities; Self-Arranged Placements involves securing and undertaking a placement within or outside LJMU; and Teaching entails securing and undertaking classroom experience, or other experience relevant to a career in teaching. Some lectures will be delivered to all students on the module as a common resource, for instance: an introduction to the module; graduate skills and careers for English students; and how to write a cv, personal statement and cover letter. Each option, and the module assessment, will contain an element of reflection on skills, personal development and the work experience.
Students who take the Prescot strand will be eligible to apply for an Arts Award, accredited through the partner organizations: KMBC (Knowsley Metropolitan Council); MATE (Merseyside Arts Theatre and Education); and Prescot Townscape Heritage Initiative.
