Fake News (Teacher version)

Social media companies face increasing pressure to address the spread of fake news, with it majorly affecting public opinion in recent years. In this CBE, students will develop a position on what changes companies should make in their approach to dealing with fake news. The CBE offers use of extended literature and the ethical cycle procedure to make students develop arguments to support their position. The reasoned position will be orally presented, with other students arguing against it. Finally, the reasoned position (with rebuttal of objections) will be written down in a report.

Teacher’s Handbook for the Academic Reading and Writing module

This handbook offers an overview of the Academic Reading and Writing module taught by the Academic Language Centre of Leiden University. This course has been offered in various forms to first-year students of BA International Studies, BA Urban Studies and other programmes since 2012. The aim of this handbook is to provide a framework for tutors outside the Academic Language Centre who wish to teach the module in its current format, and/or to serve as a basis for those who wish adapt the module to fit the needs of their specific programme. The overall goal is to enable departments and programmes to incorporate academic reading and writing skills into their curricula, using tried and tested materials developed by specialists.
