S11A
2008 – 09
SPANISH
TUTORING PROGRAMME
The
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures prides itself
to be a student-centered Department and is fully committed to
maintaining the standards of quality education set by the UWI.
The Department is starting
a pilot programme aimed at improving the level of Spanish of
S11A students with an entry level of CSEC 1 and 2 in Spanish,
using peer tutors from the third year programme.
After receiving some
training, the peer tutors will meet with the S11A students one
hour per week to work on the language as well as to give
advice on study skills, planning and time management and
developing good academic practices.
Peer tutors will be given an
outline of the programme which contains the grammatical points
being studied during the semester. Students who have been
selected to be peer tutors have a very good academic
background, strong interpersonal skills, and have a strong
commitment to helping.
The programme will begin in
the week of October 6 and end the last week of November,
2008. A book will be kept at the Language Lab for
participating students and their peer tutors to sign. The
programme will be closely monitored and will continue based on
results.
Your ideas and input will be
greatly appreciated.
