Tuppisuusta suupaltiksi - Suomen puhekielen kurssi
(20h), Helsinki
28.7.- 5.8.2014 ma - to & ma - ti klo 16.30 -19.15
Hauska kesäkurssi, jolla keskitytään suulliseen kielitaitoon ja keskusteluun. Kurssilla
harjoitellaan sujuvan keskustelun kannalta tärkeitä taitoja ja samalla kerrataan peruskurssien
teemoja. Tunnit rakentuvat tutun teeman ympärille, esim. ravintola tai kauppa, johon kaikki
oppitunnin harjoitukset linkittyvät. Myös opiskelijoiden omia toiveteemoja on mahdollista
huomioida. Muistelemme, minkälaisia keskusteluja esim. ravintolassa käydään ja minkälaiset
repliikit ovat siellä tyypillisiä. Ääntämistä harjoitellaan jonkin verran, ja puhumme puhekielen ja
kirjoitetun kielen eroista. Opiskelemme myös lyhyitä ilmaisuja, joita suomalaiset käyttävät
reagoidessaan keskustelussa (esim. aijaa, kiitos tiedosta!). Puhumme myös vähän
työelämästä, työhaastatteluista ja suomalaisesta kulttuurista ylipäätään. Kurssilla luonnollisesti
puhutaan paljon suomea ja tehdään pari- ja ryhmätöitä. Oppikirjaa ei ole, vaan kurssilla
käytetään opettajan materiaaleja, pelataan pelejä ja keksitään omia dialogeja. Päätavoitteena
on rohkaista opiskelijoita käyttämään jo hankittua kielitaitoa ja keskittymään nyt näihin suullisen
kielitaidon alueisiin, joihin ei tavallisilla kursseilla ehditä syvällisesti paneutua.
Lähtötaso: A2.

SUMMER UNIVERSITIES IN FINLAND – IN BRIEF
There are 20 summer universities in Finland, and they organise courses both in cities and
smaller towns across the country throughout the year. Each year nearly 66,000 students,
including more than 1,000 international students, enrol on courses organised by the summer
universities.
Summer universities give an opportunity for both personal and professional development. All
summer universities operate in close partnership and permanent collaboration with Finnish
universities, Universities of Applied Sciences and other institutions of learning.
Courses are open to everyone regardless of age or prior education. However, it is essential to
notice that summer universities offer short-term courses, not degree programmes. The
language of instruction is mainly Finnish, but some courses are taught in English. Among our
non-Finnish speaking students, the most popular courses are on Finnish language and culture .
In addition to student fees, summer universities receive their funding from the state and
municipalities. Summer universities take part in educational and cultural projects that aim for
regional and European development. Therefore their role as educators is important.
Summer universities plan their curricula on a yearly basis in cooperation with Finnish
universities. Interdisciplinary programmes are offered in the fields of cultural studies, European
studies, Finnish language and culture, art, dance, music, theatre, education, environmental
sciences, health care and social sciences. Please note that each summer university has its own
curriculum.
The Association of Summer Universities in Finland is a national body founded in 1972. The aim
is to take care of the interests of summer universities, provide information and collect statistics
about their activities. The association also acts as a coordinating link between various interest
groups and summer universities both nationally and internationally.
