Managing coursework (APF4)

Colin Christie

Coursework is a great motivator for students, providing an opportunity for them to be creative, pursue personal interests and engage with the target-language culture. It also promotes independent learning and the development of study skills.

But what are examiners looking for in coursework? What constitutes an effective coursework topic? How can teachers incorporate coursework into the scheme of work, while encouraging students to work independently? Managing coursework provides practical advice and ideas for the successful management of coursework for higher level examinations, including A2. It takes a close look at examination requirements and effective approaches to planning and organisation within the course as a whole.
