Project
Weighting: 50%
Project description:
Your Project should be related to aspects of the country (or one of the countries) whose language you are learning. You
should describe and explain an issue or event of your choice and give your informed opinion on it. You are recommended
to relate this to your personal experience.
The research you do for your Project will help you in your Oral Examination.
Examples will be discussed in class. You will complete various tasks related to this throughout the year.
Your CLIE language tutor will assist you with Project planning in class; this will help you focus and make sure you are on
the right track.
Reading
You need to read some target language source documents to gather information on your chosen topic, evidence of which
must form part of your Project.
Amount of material to be read and submitted:
THREE (3) text-based documents, TOTAL 2000-2500 characters
A variety of sources must be used.
You should make use of and refer to the documents you submit. You can obviously read more than this but only this
amount should be submitted.
Evaluation of sources
By this we mean extracting and synthesising the relevant and concrete ideas and information from the sources you have
selected to support your personal discussion of the topic. You should explicitly demonstrate your understanding and
integration of the material you have read through the use of e.g. summarising, paraphrasing and quoting techniques
and/or of reporting verbs at the appropriate language level.
You must include in-text citation in the format agreed with your associate lecturer/lecturers, a complete list of references,
and an appendix document with the full-text three main source texts, with all sections corresponding to material used in
your written project clearly highlighted. Failure to do so will result in significant penalty deductions.
Writing
Your Project must be written in Japanese. A table of contents should be included.
Number of words required:
1400-1800 characters
Your word count should include the main text and any tables, diagrams and illustrations together with their captions, plus
footnotes and endnotes, but not the table of contents, bibliography or appendices.
Quotations
There should not be excessive quoting.
Quotes should NOT be included in your word count.
Project format
Your Project (Draft and Final) should be handwritten and scanned, and submitted as a PDF (.pdf).
Your Final Project MUST include
A bibliography of ALL relevant sources you have read and used (including FULL internet addresses). All URLs must be
accessible to the assessors, and if the source is available through the UCL Library Explore service then you should link to
it there.
An appendix containing highlighted versions of your THREE (3) main sources used.

Additional information
We expect language appropriate to your level. We are interested in the reading and writing process of your Project, as
this process will help you to learn both language and information about countries where the language is spoken.
If sources are not included with your Project you will get 0 (zero) points for Reading.
Project stages:
There are three stages to writing your Project.
All Project stages must be submitted on AssessmentUCL, which is where you will receive your feedback (and mark for
the Final submission).
The Proposal and Draft are an integral and essential part in the development of your Project, and are required in order
to gain full points, therefore non-submission of the proposal and/or draft stage will result in a reduction of 5% of your
final mark for each stage not submitted, e.g. -5% for non-submission of the proposal and/or -5% for non-submission of
the draft.
1. Proposal: Submit a statement of your Project’s subject/topic/theme and the reasons you have chosen it, plus
indicate the sources you intend to use.
Opens: Monday 13 January 2025 12:00
Closes (deadline): Monday 20 January 2025 12:00.
Feedback1
: Monday 03 February 2025 12:00
Format: Entered directly online. Ensure you keep your OWN copy of
what you submit.
Upload window: Not applicable.
Possible to withdraw submission/resubmit: No – you can only submit once, it is not possible to withdraw
your submission.
Late submissions accepted: No.
Language you should use for your Proposal: English
2. Draft: Submit a draft of your Project: Approximately 50% of the lower word limit for your level plus the structure
of the remaining 50% in bullet points, including full accessible LINKS to your three sources.
Opens: Monday 10 February 2025 12:00
Closes (deadline): Monday 17 February 2025 12:00
Feedback2
: Wednesday 05 March 2025 12:00
1 Provided Proposal is submitted by standard deadline. Submissions with an extended deadline will get their feedback later.
2 Provided Draft is submitted by standard deadline. Submissions with an extended deadline will get their feedback later.
Format: One PDF file.
Upload window: Not applicable.
Possible to withdraw submission/resubmit: Yes – if you submit the wrong file then you can withdraw it and
resubmit up until the deadline.
Late submissions accepted: up to 5 working days (i.e. 7 calendar days) (penalties apply, see
Academic Manual Chapter 4, Section 3.11 Deadlines & Late
Submissions).
The penalty will take the form of a reduction in the feedback
provided as follows:
Up to 2 working days late (e.g. after Monday 17
February 2025 12:00 and up until Wednesday 19
February 2025 12:00): 25% less of the Draft will be
annotated/commented on than if submitted on
time.
2-5 working days late (e.g. after Wednesday 19
February 2025 12:00 and up until Monday 24
February 2025 12:00): only summary feedback will
be provided, annotations will not be provided.
Project language: Japanese
Draft word count: 700 characters
3. Final submission: Submit your Final Project and sources used.
Opens: Wednesday 19 March 2025 12:00.
Closes (deadline): Wednesday 26 March 2025 12:00
Feedback and provisional mark: Monday 28 April 2025 12:00
Format: Two PDF files (your Project itself AND a separate appendix
containing the text of your three main sources with the
relevant sections highlighted).
Upload window: Not applicable.
Possible to withdraw submission/resubmit: Yes – if you submit the wrong file then you can withdraw it and
resubmit up until the deadline.
Late submissions accepted: up to 5 working days (i.e. 7 calendar days) (penalties apply, see
Academic Manual Chapter 4, Section 3.11 Deadlines & Late
Submissions).
Project language: Japanese
Final Project word count: 1400-1800 characters
All times are UK times.
Each stage is activated on AssessmentUCL approximately 7 days before it opens, which is when you be able to see it. You
will receive an automated email from AssessmentUCL when the flow is activated.
We will also send you an email with practical information about the submission for the stage before it opens.
SoRAs: when required, students with a SoRA are able to submit written coursework using an extension of up to 1 week.
This will be added to the standard deadline for each stage by default, so the deadline for each stage will be 1 week after
the date stated above.
Extenuating Circumstances: students with approved Extenuating Circumstances will have an extended deadline for the
stage(s) concerned.
Academic Integrity:
Your Project must be your own work and you must read and follow UCL Academic Integrity guidance.
Academic Integrity means being honest in your academic work, and making sure that you formally recognise and
reference the existing knowledge and ideas on which your work is based.
If you do not acknowledge the work or ideas of others, you could be penalised for Academic Misconduct, which is defined
as any action or attempted action that may result in you obtaining an unfair academic advantage.
All plagiarism will be penalised. Any cases of suspected plagiarism will be challenged – those students will have to
complete a task under supervised conditions and/or points will be deducted and could result in being given a mark of
0.00%/Grade F for this component. A variety of methods are used to detect plagiarism, including the use of the Turnitin
detection system.
You must NOT duplicate topics you have used for ANY other courses/qualifications you have taken. You may refer to
some of the research you have undertaken previously so long as the majority of the sources and bibliography for your
Project are up-to-date and there is justification for referencing this older material.
You must NOT get help from friends, use translation services or copy sources verbatim. You may discuss your Project with
a native speaker but you CANNOT show them any of your written work.
Using a computer spellchecker is acceptable as the correct option still needs to be selected. However using a computer
to translate material from another language into the target language is NOT acceptable:
For your Sources – if the source was originally in another language then you will get 0 (zero) points for it.
For your Writing element – which constitutes plagiarism.
Late submissions:
Planning, time-management and the meeting of deadlines are part of the personal and professional skills expected of all
graduates. For this reason, UCL expects students to submit all coursework by the published deadline date and time, after
which penalties will be applied.
If you experience something which prevents you from meeting a deadline that is sudden, unexpected, significantly
disruptive and beyond your control, you should submit an Extenuating Circumstances (EC) Form. If the request is accepted,
you may be granted an extension. If the deadline has already passed, the late submission may be condoned i.e. there will
be no penalty for submitting late.
Academic Manual Chapter 4, Section 3: Module Assessment
Academic Manual Chapter 2, Section 2: Short Term Illness and Other Extenuating Circumstances
Latest accepted submission
Late submissions of up to 7 days are accepted for the Project stage 2 (Draft) and stage 3 (Final) without approved
Extenuating Circumstances.
The latest accepted submission for the Project stage 3 (Final) with approved Extenuating Circumstances is Wednesday 16
April 2025 12:00; mitigation beyond this would be Deferral without Tuition to the next normal occasion (typically the Late
Summer Assessment Period).
Word count penalties:
The following IOE faculty policy applies:
Work that exceeds the word count by more than 10% will be reduced by one grade or 10 percentage points. This
must not take the mark below the Pass Mark. Any material in addition to the 10% excess may not be taken into
account in grading. For example, if 6,500 words are submitted for an assignment with a 5,000 word count limit,
the final 1,000 words may not be taken into account in grading – the assessor is not required to read or consider
these additional 1,000 words.
There will be no penalties for any submissions which are under the word count.
In the case of coursework that is submitted over- or under-length and is also late, the greater of any penalties must
apply.
AssessmentUCL:
You log into AssessmentUCL using your UCL username and password at https://europe.wiseflow.net/login/license/568.
The Project is grouped as a FLOWcombine that contains all three different stages for your Project. You can find the
FLOWcombine section at the bottom of your list of flows. Click on View flows to get access to your individual assessments.
Guidance and practice assessments
It is strongly recommended that you read the AssessmentUCL guidance for students, especially the section What to do:
Before your assessment, and that you complete the Practice Assessments on AssessmentUCL in order to familiarise
yourself with the platform ahead of completing your real assessments.
