- Teaching assistantship: innovative approach Learning outcomes can be tied in with vocational expertise of DIT (v/ universities) e.g. English written skills for e.g. production of report or written communication in new media, foundation for TEFL rather than literature for its own sake Broad education v/ overspecialisation
- Texts for stage and screen – to be threaded with literature , text based Emphasise different threads as soon as year 2 giving students a rounded approach to the two discipline areas
- TEFL is only a foundation course for further studies
