UALSC Tutor Survey results

Thank you to everyone that completed the tutor survey. We have taken all of your feedback onboard.

You can now see the results of the tutor survey on the Tutor Hub homepage.

Tips for teaching low-level English learners

UAL is an internationally renowned university, teaching students from various backgrounds, including those who do not have English as their first language.

We share in their commitment to provide an inclusive learning environment for all.

In light of this, tutor Ian Kettle shares his expert tips for teaching low-level English learners in our latest video.

This resource can be accessed on tutor hub under 'Teaching Resources'.

Student work sharing

We encourage you to remind students to tag #UALShortCourses in posts, reels, stories or TikToks sharing their work and their experiences on your course! This is a great way to ensure we are sharing the success of your students and the brilliant work they produce. 

The marketing team will often repost student tags and, in some cases, reach out to students for interviews so we can share the positive outcomes while studying with you and UAL Short Courses. 

If you have any students that have gone on to do anything interesting, then we would love to reach out and share their story to promote your course!

The induction slides contain a prompt about this, along with completing the feedback survey towards the end of the deck. Please do reiterate this messaging where possible and appropriate to students. 

Polite reminder: marketing requests

For content marketing support, please complete our request form by downloading the document 'Marketing Activity For Tutors'.

The earlier we receive these requests the better to ensure content has a healthy lead time in the market. Last minute requests can be tricky to build into existing schedules and have limited impact. 

Alternatively, you can email your request with your arts.ac.uk email to UALSCMarketing@arts.ac.uk.

We welcome videos and photos from previous classes or examples of work that can be created (please include and confirm you have relevant permissions to share these with us). 

We kindly ask that team members are not contacted directly for these requests. Thank you for your understanding!

Tutor Hub

As ever, please do send suggestions for new content for the tutor hub to a.marlensummers@arts.ac.uk or your coordinator.
