ALMS Skills Support Groups
As part of your individual ALMS programme you will be able to join our Skills Support Groups. Each group focuses on a particular area of language skills and is mediated by an ALMS teacher. Together you plan the content and schedule of your group. Some groups meet weekly, others only a few times, depending on the focus of the group. On average, a student will do about 20 hours of work for a Support Skills Group, which includes both meetings and work done elsewhere.
The Skills Support Groups that are usually set up are as follows, but this varies from term to term, depending on the needs and wishes of the students:
Conversation, Cross-cultural Discussion, Academic Discussion, Presentation skills, Drama, Easy Talk, Practical Writing, Academic Writing, Creative Writing, Writing for Learning, Integrated Reading/ Writing/Discussion, Academic Reading.
The schedule of current Skills Support Groups can be found below as a pdf file.

In addition to the Skills Support Groups, students are also able to set up their own groups, known as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Groups, which have their own focus and plan. Examples of such groups would be a DIY Film Group, DIY Literature Group, DIY Viikki Group, DIY Psychology Group, DIY History Group, etc.
