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:
• 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: 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.
