On Campus

To partner up with another student or member of University of Lincoln staff who would like to learn your native language. Once you sign up, we will match you to someone who speaks the language you want to learn and who wants to learn your native language. Then, you’ll meet virtually for an hour per week to do a language and culture exchange – 30 minutes in one language, 30 minutes in the other. You’ll be teaching but you get to learn something too!

Virtual

We will match you to a suitable partner and check in with you to ensure everything is going OK. We will also give you tips and ideas about what to talk about during the sessions, as well as advice about the best technology to use.

Be patient and open-minded!

1 hour per week – at a time convenient to you

This is for speakers of any language – not just English-speakers. If you want to practise your English, learn a bit of Mandarin or get to know Spanish culture better, sign up and we will do our best to match you to someone. We’ll reply to you once you have registered your interest and do our best to match you quickly; if we don’t match you straight away, we’ll be in touch every month to check that you’re still interested.

We are looking for someone to help with the development of either an app development of an excel workbook or to help develop a user friendly data entry screen for an excel workbook – so familiarity with VBA and/or app development is required.

This is part of work on the personal supervision system of the Business School – which is seeking to develop a mapping process of who influences student views.

Business School – virtually.

Support direct from the Senior Lecturer managing personal supervision in the School and Associate Professor – who are developing learning materials.

An individual who is flexible, skilled in required areas and able to understand and translate existing excel workbook tools into under friendly (staff and student) learning materials.

The project needs to be ready for Semester B – but we will agree a schedule and goals. The project can fit around other activities and studies.

It is likely this role would suit someone skilled in IT, app development and VBA and thus from those study areas – but this does not preclude other interested applicants who may have developed those skills informally. We welcome applicants regardless of discipline.
