Textbook Suomen mestari 1 - Suomen kielen oppikirja aikuisille (by Sonja Gehring & Sanni Heinzmann). You may find the book in the TAMK library, but it is recommended to buy the book, because it will be used in all three Finnish courses. Materials made by the teacher and e-materials - both of them linked in Moodle.
Different methods: contact teaching, study conversation, cooperative learning, oral and written exercises and games. Also online material is utilized. All materials have been collected and structured in Moodle. The idea is to make learning basics of Finnish not only important but also interesting and fun.
A course grade will be formed on the basis of a result of the written exam.

Finnish language is so different from the most students' mother tongues which means rather much work to get in communication in Finnish. This time the studying demands time and collaboration. A regular and active attendance in lessons is important and also compulsory to pass the course. But as said, in addition to it much private learning is needed. 3 ECT course means 3 x 27 hours' (81 hours') work! To build up one's motivation is very important: to find useful, fun and creative ways to learn, use and understand Finnish. So have Finnish as a hobby also in your free time!
