FOREIGN LANGUAGE, BASIC COURSES
The basic courses are meant for students in every faculty. A basic course 1, e.g. XITA0001 Italian 1, starts from the very basics, so no previous studies on the language are required. Those who have already studied a language are placed on course levels that match their skills. All types of language skills are practiced on the basic courses. The main focus, however, is on phonetics and basic grammar as well as on oral skills and listening comprehension.
The aim of the studies is to raise the students’ active and passive language skills to an adequate level so that they can take part in mandatory and optional courses and make use of their language skills e.g. in student exchange programs.

LANGUAGE USE AND CULTURE (25 ECTS cr)
The Language Use and Culture study module is aimed at students who have completed the basic studies in a foreign language or who have the corresponding skills. The student may complete the whole 25-credit module or take individual study units according to his/her interests. The studies focus on language structure and vocabulary and on practicing oral and written skills. In addition, the students get a broader and deeper understanding of the country and its culture.
After completing the study module, the student should have an overall picture of English-language culture as well as an improved ability to use the language. The student should be able to analyze and compare the culture of the major English-speaking countries with his/her own culture. Successful completion of the module will provide the student with linguistic and cultural support in interactions with English-speaking people in working life, research, studies, and free time.

(Finnish for Foreigners)
The Language Use and Culture study module is aimed at university, Open University, and University of Applied Sciences foreign students and staff members who have completed basic studies in Finnish or possess the corresponding skills. All other courses are taught in Finnish except the first two courses (XFIN0201, XFIN0202) which are taught partially in English. The participants may complete the whole 25-credit module or individual study units.
The studies focus on Finnish structure and vocabulary and on practicing oral and written skills. In addition, the participants get a broader and deeper understanding of the country and culture.
The aim is that having completed the study module, the students can read literature of their own field in Finnish and are capable of expressing themselves both orally and textually in rather fluent Finnish. They also form a general picture of Finnish culture and history, the past and the present. Further, they can analyze and make comparisons between their own culture and Finnish culture.
