Further information

FYI!

I'm from the United States, but I've been calling Finland home for 30 years. English is my mother tongue, but I speak and understand Finnish (and Swedish) fluently. In the Culture and Diversity in Business contact sessions you may use Finnish and/or English - as you wish. I usually lecture in English but often answer questions from students in both English and Finnish. You may choose for each learning task whether to do it in Finnish or English. Some students who have been a little nervous about using English at the beginning of my courses have succeeded in achieving the learning outcomes for the course and improving their overall English proficiency. All students - from Finland and abroad- are warmly welcome to this course!
