Aalto University is revising its language policy and guidelines, and now the Aalto community is invited to comment on the drafts.
The aim of the language guidelines is to support Aalto in our mission as part of the global scientific and artistic community as well as in its national mission to promote Finland’s success through positive impact on Finnish society and its internationalisation. The aim is also to support our community’s multilingualism and multiculturalism and to promote the participation and equality of the community’s members and to ensure that the Aalto community follows the relating legislation.
Below is a link to the news on aalto.fi and the discussion area. Remember to log in! Discussion will be open until 31 August after which the guidelines will be finalised.

I interviewed two Aalto University instructors who have used glossaries created by students as coursework in a subject course and a field-specific language course. The assignments are based on active learning methods: the glossaries are not created by the instructor, but by the learners themselves. The interview focused, among other things, on the teaching philosophy behind developing the glossary tasks, how the learning of field-specific vocabulary can be linked to the overall learning objectives of the course, and what technical solutions enable students’ active learning in glossary assignments.
