JOURNALISM

To help students transition from the classroom to the high-pressure environment of professional newsrooms, our Journalism series offers a high-impact digital platform. Designed for B1 to B2 level learners, this 100 to 130-hour course provides the linguistic agility and critical thinking skills required to operate within a global information ecosystem.

Departmental Integration & Needs Analysis This curriculum is not just a collection of media terms; it is the result of a thorough needs analysis and rigorous field trials. We have meticulously ordered the units to mirror the main department courses, ensuring that students develop their language skills in parallel with their core journalism subjects. All four skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—are developed through synthesized versions of authentic news scripts, editorial drafts, and investigative reports, making complex media ethics and press laws accessible without losing technical rigor.

Dynamic Exercise Framework To simulate the diversity of a journalist's daily tasks, each unit features a multifaceted array of interactive exercises:

• The Lead-In: Modules begin with a Warm-up to activate media literacy and set the editorial tone.
• Technical Precision: Students sharpen their drafting skills through Cloze Tests, Matching terminology to definitions, and Multiple Choice questions on international press standards.
• Narrative Structure: Ordering tasks are used to teach the "inverted pyramid" style of news writing and the logical flow of a situational interview.
• Critical Verification: True/False tasks and Comprehension Activities challenge students to verify facts and analyze narratives in real-time.

Advanced Institutional Oversight The series is hosted on a reliable online platform featuring a specialized dual-interface system, providing total transparency for both lecturers and students:

• Student Portfolio: An intuitive, easy-to-follow syllabus guides learners through their units, providing a clear view of unit deadlines and assignment requirements.
• Editorial (Teacher) Dashboard: Instructors act as "editors-in-chief," with a portal that shows exactly who has done what and when. The system tracks "first and last entry" timestamps and allows teachers to adjust attempt rights for any given task. This flexibility ensures the course can be tailored to the specific rigor or pedagogical goals of the institution.
