Mellékletek 251 Language assessment The Faculties and the Language Centre will jointly develop uniform criteria for the evaluation of the Maturity Examinations. These criteria will also specify how the gra­ding for the content and for the mother tongue skills are integrated. For the evalu­ation of the mother tongue, the Faculties and the Language Centre will work out the criteria for good learned and scholarly texts as well as for the written mother ton­gue competence required for degree. The assessment of foreign language competence will be based on the principles of assessment criteria of the Common European Framework of Reference for Language Learning, Teaching, and Assessment, to the effect that the assessments by the Language Centre and those by the Department of Languages will be derived, where applicable, from a common understanding of the language skills required at each level of language competence. Foreign students The principle of linguistic diversity as adopted by the European community requ­ires that the University give its foreign students - both exchange students and degree students - good opportunities to study the Finnish language and to acqua­int themselves with Finnish culture. Similarly, the language and cultural resources of foreign students will be tapped in teaching and the development of skills and competence required abroad. Foreign students who are admitted to do full Finnish degrees will be given a chan­ce to carry out studies of the Finnish language at the beginning of their studies to the extent that they will be able to attain a level of competence in Finnish neces­sary for participation in programmes taught in Finnish. Foreign students entering masters’ programmes taught in languages other than Finnish will be obliged to give evidence of their language competence by reference to credits from a language test acknowledged internationally. Foreign students will be given training which will orientate them towards learning in a foreign language and academic practices. Exchange programmes Students who are planning to participate in exchange programmes will be given relevant language and orientation courses. A basic requirement is that they have the language skills necessary for studies in the target country. To make student mobility possible in countries other than the English-speaking ones, the University will provide students with opportunities to learn, maintain, and broaden competence also in other languages. This is particularly valuable for stu­dents who wish to enter the international labour market. Graduate programmes and publication of research results Internationalisation of graduate training is one of the challenges for Finnish hig­her education. Graduate students and young research workers have to have such academic language and communication skills that international networking and pub­lishing in languages other than Finnish are possible. This means that language and communications skills will have to be developed throughout study careers.
