Educational Aims of the Course

The CPW and English Language integrated joint provides you with an opportunity to develop your own talentfor writing, alongside a disciplined engagement with English language study. The programme offers asupported, stimulating and multicultural environment in which you can create, analyse and interpret differentforms and styles of writing. It gives you a thorough understanding of the forms and functions of English andof the development of English from its roots to its position as an international language, and of the sheervariety of spoken and forms of the language. It raises your awareness of the effects on language production offactors such as gender, class and culture as well as register and genre. The CPW and English Language degreewill enable you to communicate more effectively in writing, and enable you to enhance your own creative andcritical judgement. You will also develop a range of subject specific and transferable skills, including higherorder conceptual and communication skills, enterprise, digital literacy and IT awareness, all of which are ofimmense value in graduate employment.

What makes this programme distinctive?

The course is one of the few in the country to combine English Language with creative and professionalwriting (most exclude the latter). Thus there is a real emphasis on employability.The course is taught by published writers whose books cover a wide range of creative, professional andcritical disciplines (fiction, poetry, journalism, critical writing and scholarship etc.).

Special visiting lecturers from the world of publishing are invited to speak on modules, as areinternationally renowned authors.The English and English Language teams at Wolverhampton has pioneered the use of interactive web-based forums for teaching and assessment. These activities have proved very popular with students.

You can develop the skills and knowledge that you need to study at undergraduate level, building on yourstrengths and working on your weaknesses, so that you can feel confident that by the end you are ready tocommence a degree course, and to apply the skills to undertake the directed and independent learning whichwill help you to achieve your potential. This will allow you to embark on Level 4 study in an appropriateundergraduate discipline or combined award, confident that you have developed the skills and chosen themost relevant subject area(s) to specialise in, which will allow you to perform strongly at degree level andenhance your career aims.

Employability in the Curriculum

CPW and English Language will equip graduates for a diversity of occupations, including: journalism,publishing, advertising, marketing, editing and technical writing. Some of our graduates have become teachersand writing tutors, while some have opted for MA and PhD study at universities worldwide. Many of ourgraduates become published writers, placing work in both regional and national publications.

The course has a number of modules with a clear vocational orientation: Writing Features and TeachingWriting are examples of modules that focus on specific writing vocations. However, employability isembedded throughout the CPW programme. Students can become eligible for the Wolverhampton Enterpriseand Employability Award (WEEA) as they work their way through the degree. In order to achieve this theyengage with various Employability & Enterprise-facing assessments, which include:

Skills analysis (e.g. Craft of Writing; Life Writing): Students write letters geared toward particular audiences(agents, fellow writers, etc).

Presentations: (e.g. Telling Tales and Writing Features). Students perform material before a live audience or oncamera, honing their ‘pitching skills’ and ability to answer questions. At level 5, presentations are done by agroup and include a written pitch about a project they have conceived. They pitch to tutors who act ascommissioning editors or event organisers. Students also draft a business plan and do a SWOT analyses.

Work related study: (e.g. Feature-Writing, Writing Futures, and Teaching Writing). Assessment on thesemodules offers students the opportunity to study job/sector/organisation, write an appropriate CV andapproach letter, create a LinkedIn profile, etc. For the WEEA, students may wish to count their work experience and attend the Dream Job seminarworkshop (open to all School of Humanities students) where they are asked to devise a career plan.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment

The traditional combination of lecture and seminar is accompanied and varied by other teaching and learningactivities appropriate to particular modules. These include interactive lectures, individual and small grouppresentations, student-led seminars, small group and classroom exercises and discussions, writingworkshops, forums and surgeries, work-related and service-learning assignments and activities, andengagement with electronic learning and teaching materials. Students will interact/collaborate with otherundergraduates from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, addressing critical and creative material thatreflects and promotes awareness of cultural diversity. Students can also undertake a period of sustainedindependent study through the third year project. At all levels they are encouraged to read widely andcritically, to write prolifically, and to incorporate information and communication technologies into theirlearning practices.

Support with your studies

University Learning Centres are the key source of academic information for students providing access to:

Physical library resources (books, journal, DVDs etc.)Study areas to allow students to study in the environment that suits them best: Social areas, quiet andsilent areas.A wide range of online information sources, including eBooks, e-journals and subject databasesAcademic skills support via the Skills for Learning programmeStudents on campus can attend workshops or ask for one-to-one help on a range of skills such asacademic writing and referencing.Dedicated Subject Pages to enable you to explore key online information sources that are recommendedfor their studies.Physical access to local libraries both in UK and overseas via SCONUL and WorldCat agreements

We also strongly advise you to download to “MyWLV” student app. MyWLV is a single point of personalisedaccess to the variety of systems the University offers. This includes pulling through relevant information (e.g.deadlines, timetables) and linking to underlying systems.

Leave of Absence:

The University allows breaks in learning of up to two years and there is a process for applying for a leave ofabsence, which can be accessed through your e:Vision account. Initially you will need to apply for the leave ofabsence, which could be for medical, parental or personal reasons. A short-term absence, such as annual leave,must not be recorded as a break. The course leader will consider, and where appropriate agree, the leave ofabsence application. A return date will be identified and agreed for a suitable point in the programme.Additional course fees may be incurred as a result of a leave of absence and you are advised to discuss thiswith the Faculty Student Services team prior to application.

Course Specific Support

The student support and guidance mechanisms are those provided by the standard University and Schoolsystems.

Staff can refer students to the Faculty of Arts study skills advisors for one-to-one tutorials and workshopsshould they require additional support beyond module and/or outside of office hours.

The VLE will include study skills-related materials such as stylebooks and shared URLs that link to variouson-line study skills websites (e.g., Purdue OWL and Monash Academic Literacy sites).

Most research on academic literacies and study skills development advocates embedding them in the subjectrather than through bolted-on learning experiences and much of the level 4 programme is geared towardsdeveloping students' generic and subject-specific study skills.

For example From Student to Scholar is a generic, discipline-linked skills module where each student isassigned a tutor to provide individualised instruction. Also, in the Craft of Writing teaches studentspresentation skills and IT skills through small workshops and 1-2-1 tutorials. Level 4 in-class activities andworkshops, which are done in timed situations, and on-line critique circles and weekly postings teachstudents to become better time managers. At least two core modules at level 4 require students to be readingand writing every week, and research shows that the ‘little and often approach’ has considerable impacton improving skills via repeated practice.

Formative assignments and learning activities offer students opportunities to write and revise using feedbackprior to submission for assessment. Formative feedback for revision encourages students to develop andhone problem-solving skills, writing, and critical thinking (selecting rhetorical strategies for more persuasiveargument/exposition). This also moves them towards more self-regulated learning (engagementwith feedback promotes reflection and self-assessment). Additionally, many modules afford studentsnumerous opportunities to engage in peer feedback activities and writing workshops, both in class and on-line which promote both collaborative and independent learning. Students receive timely and frequentfeedback, providing personalised study skills support.

Subject specific research skills are embedded in module learning activities - both in-class and out-of-class -and require students to use electronic and HRC resources (e.g., the Summon library catalogue, e-books, LION,the Oxford English Dictionary, online language corpora, online/print newspapers and various search engines)to regularly locate information about authors, newspaper demographics and theoretical/critical texts toengage in problem-based learning (most writing tasks engage students in PBL) and complete assessmenttasks.

Contact Hours

In higher education, the term ‘contact hours’ is used very broadly, to refer to the amount of time that youspend learning in contact with teaching or associated staff, when studying for a particular course.

This time provides you with the support in developing your subject knowledge and skills, and opportunitiesto develop and reflect on your own, independent learning. Contact time can take a wide variety of formsdepending on your subject, as well as where and how you are studying. Some of the most common examplesare:

lecturesseminarstutorialsproject supervisionsdemonstrationspractical classes and workshopssupervised time in a studio/workshopfieldworkexternal visitswork-based learning (including placements)scheduled virtual interaction with tutor such as on line, skype, telephone

In UK higher education, you as the student take primary responsibility for your own learning. In this context,contact time with teaching and associated staff is there to help shape and guide your studies. It may be usedto introduce new ideas and equip you with certain knowledge or skills, demonstrate practical skills for you topractise independently, offer guidance on project work, or to provide personalised feedback.

Alongside contact time, private or independent study is therefore very significant. This is the time that youspend learning without direct supervision from, or contact with, a member of staff. It might includebackground reading, preparation for seminars or tutorials, follow-up work, wider practice, the completion ofassignments, revision, and so on.

50 Day Engagement:

You will be withdrawn from the University if you fail to engage with the academic requirements of yourcourse of study, within 50 days of the course start date, following repeated and reasonable attempts by theUniversity to contact you.

Course Specific Health and Safety Issues

No specific health and safety issues have been recorded for this provision, but should this change your CourseLeader will make you aware of this and provide relevant guidance as appropriate.
