Module description

The module aims to: build on and improve students’ existing language skills, taking students up to a level of near-native proficiency in all four language skills: speaking, understanding, writing and reading; enable the students to express themselves in clear, concise, coherent, fluent, and linguistically and grammatically correct Danish.

A high level of student autonomy will be expected, and the module will to a large extent consist of students’ own work. Weekly assignments to be completed at home will be given and the feedback to these will constitute an essential part of the work of perfecting students’ language competence.

Reading List/ Suggested Reading:

Texts: No textbook is required for the module; instead, a variety of authentic materials will be used.
 Grammar: It is recommended that students own a copy of R Allan, P Holmes & T Lundskær-Nielsen, Danish. An Essential grammar (Routledge 2000).
 Dictionaries: It is recommended that students own a Danish dictionary such as Politiken's Nudansk Ordbog. Students will occasionally need to consult H Vinterberg & C A Bodelsen, Dansk-engelsk ordbog (Gyldendal) and B Kjærulf Nielsen, Engelsk-dansk ordbog (Gyldendal), which can be found in the library.

This module explores moral cognition within the domain of social cognition research. It takes a problem-based learning approach (PBLA); each week students will work on a different moral question in small groups, and present it in the lecture. The question will focus on the week’s relevant topic, and require the students to design an experiment to test an idea, or an intervention that applies the relevant research to a moral problem. This PBLA will reinforce key concepts and ideas, allowing the students to not only acquire knowledge about social cognition research on the topic, but apply their knowledge in various domains.
