Language 4 - 2014 Tutorials




Dear All,
As announced during Friday´s lecture, this year there will be six tutorial options for students to choose from, in addition to course lectures. Each tutor -Ms Aicega, Ms Pich and Ms Rodriguez- will run two tutorials of a different nature, namely, a Class A, dealing with language and writing, and a Class B, dealing with practical applications of course content. Students are free to choose any one Class A tutorial and any one Class B tutorial but must make sure they sign up for two (2) weekly tutorials, an A class and a B one.

Due to an unfortunate misunderstanding, however, Ms Aicega’s tutorials were not made available at the time of online enrolment for the course. Students are therefore kindly requested to come forth at the classes of their choice next week and, as agreed, make any necessary amendments to their previous registration, so that all six timetables are covered as evenly as possible and students can profit from both aspects of coursework.

Below find a summary of compulsory coursework options:

Class A: Language and Writing
Class B: Content application

Prof. Julia Pich
Prof. Dolores Aicega
Prof. Laura Rodriguez

To All Students


Dear All

It has recently come to my notice that some students have voiced a complaint before SAE over the reading list prescribed for the coming Midterm Test Part on applied theory. To my surprise, they claimed that some topics had not been covered in the tutorials and that there were too many readings to do. While I can understand that exams are often a source of anxiety for everyone, there are one or two things I feel I need to bring to your attention at this point.

After reviewing class reports on the activities you have done with your tutors and discussing the issue with them, we have been able to ascertain that the topics in the tutorials were properly dealt with. Students were provided with study guides specially designed to highlight the main issues and facilitate home reading, and tutors covered the texts adequately in class, including awareness-raising, discussion, analysis and application activities.

As for the concerns about the length of the reading list, we must consider that it covers at least six months’ work. The texts were assigned for home reading and treated one at a time in the course of the lessons, as those of you who have followed the coursework regularly will confirm. It is no less true, though, that in many cases there has been poor compliance with the reading assignments according to your assistant teachers’ reports and, of course, those students who fall behind with their work or fail to study conscientiously will find considerable difficulty tackling several readings at the last minute.

And then again, still allowing that there are, in fact, a large number of texts to read for the midterm, Language IV is no subject to be sitting through and just managing a few deadlines. Upgrading one´s language level and acquiring a professional discourse management is a complex matter that requires large exposure, steady dedication and commitment. I must also remind you that as students towards the end of our university course, we are expected to read extensively, unless we are prepared to admit that students from the English course are less apt than those from other degree courses in our school and others, where the reading load for their midterms is just as heavy, if not heavier, than in our case.

Having said this, we are willing to take a flexible approach and we have decided to postpone the date of the Midterm Test Part 2 to Friday October 18th so as to allow time for revision of the key points and to give everyone the opportunity to check their doubts both at lectures and tutorials. In order to dispel your concerns, I would like you to know that the readings are grouped around three central issues as follows, Discourse Genres, Discourse and the News and Discourse, Ideology and Power, and that the tasks and /or questions on the test will be modelled after the tasks covered in the Tutorials and questions in the Study Guides.

With best wishes,



Prof. Ana Moldero
