Learning Strategy
Huddersfield International Study Centre encourages students to be academic citizens who are self-directed and motivated learners.

To facilitate the independent learner, teaching will mainly take place through small interactive group sessions in which students are encouraged to explore content, ask questions, contribute to discussions and reflect on their progress. The importance of engaging in sufficient independent study is promoted to support success and the development of skills for further study. Emphasis is placed on individualised learning and avoiding teaching to the middle, to ensure that the learning needs of each student are met. Each teaching session is supported by learning and assessment resources on the module VLE page on Brightspace. These include weekly objectives, words to learn, slides/learning resources, interactive activities including formative assessments, useful videos and independent study materials. Regular formative assessment is embedded to provide opportunities to review progress, motivate and support all learners through the effective use of feedback.
For students with additional learning needs, Personal Learning Support Plans are produced in collaboration with the University’s Disability Services and through these, reasonable adjustments for teaching, learning and assessment are planned in advance for the duration of the student journey.
