A proposito di questo titolo

Our nomination is for the Lincoln College Group’s work in China, set up 12 years ago and dubbed ‘Innovation China’, a jointly developed construction cost engineering programme. Developed with the intent of increasing students’ employability chances post-study on a Chinese qualification by adding an English language element combined with knowledge of Western construction practice. This has been delivered in the Sichuan Province, with more than 2,500 students having benefited from this innovative programme. The programme, delivered as part of an existing Chinese Construction Major course, also provides an inclusion element thanks to being taught in a Western style that also encourages interaction. Most Chinese students for example are used to learning ‘by rote’ and with repetition of key phrases and dictation. This means that their pedagogical norms are challenged and culturally, their minds are opened to new ways of learning and foreign job markets. We believe that this element has two key benefits, that it builds resilience for those Chinese students that are hoping to work in the USA, UK or in Europe by giving them a taste of how information is disseminated. Secondly, the course’s material, which will give them an advantage over students who have not had this essential element added to their standard courses.
