This project is to develop and trial materials to foster a (2 or 3 student) team EBL approach to grammatical and socio-cultural issues that must be addressed in understanding and ‘translating’ texts (Japanese TV dramas). The aim is assist learners in becoming confident and autonomous in both group and individual study.

Linking Teaching and Research: Using Faculty research seminars to enhance EBL activities in final level tutorials
A selection of seminars presented by external experts, relevant to degree programmes across the Faculty, will be recorded using video and/or audio technology. These recordings will be used to develop frameworks for tutorial EBL activities by the project team and other interested staff, including programme directors and final level tutors. Involvement of seminar presenters would be encouraged, and materials developed would be shared with them. Students might conduct literature research and work in groups to explore links with the curriculum, ethical issues, relevance to society, methodologies, or the applications of technology. Outcomes would be to provide frameworks for the development of activities that link research with the curriculum, to give students access to renowned bio-scientists and their work, to enhance the EBL experience and transferable skills of students, and promote the sharing of resources between institutions.
