Assessment scale

Teaching methods

In Finnish 3, your goal is to extend your knowledge in basic Finnish and learn to describe where and when something happens. To support this goal, you will have regular classroom meetings with the teacher. In addition to this, you are expected to do independent work outside the classroom.

To show your progress in the course, you need to take part in two course exams (mid exam and final exam).

Learning materials

You will need a physical or digital copy of Suomen mestari 2 (2022, the one with a yellowish background). We will study the chapters 1-4.

You can find a copy of Suomen mestari 2, for example, in an online store, local library in Tampere, or online marketplace (e.g., Tori.fi).

Student workload

You will have 2 x 1,5 h course meetings every week. In addition to this, you are expected to do independent study work 2-5 hours a week. The independent work can include, for example, home work, course assignments, discussions with local people, and use of language learning apps.

Notice that it can be difficult – if not impossible – to pass the course without any independent work. Course meetings are more like an introduction to the study topics while you will extend your knowledge with independent work.

Content scheduling
