Focus: Developing a professional practice programme for language students through collaboration with the International Relations Department.

Reflect on the progress you have made in implementing your mini-project so far. Consider your original aims, the activities you have carried out, the outcomes achieved, and the challenges you have encountered. Support your reflections with specific examples or evidence wherever possible. If some activities are still in progress, explain what you have achieved to date, what you have learned, and what your next steps will be. Focus on progress, impact, lessons learned, and priorities for further development, rather than simply describing the activities you have completed.

1. What progress have you made in developing the professional practice programme and identifying the needs of language students?
2. What activities or learning opportunities have you introduced to connect language learning with the professional demands of international relations?
3. What have students learned or practised through activities such as professional communication, negotiation, presentations or intercultural interaction?
4. What feedback have you received from students, colleagues or the International Relations Department, and how has it informed the programme?
5. What evidence suggests that the programme is helping students develop relevant professional knowledge or skills?
6. What challenges have you encountered in organising the programme or collaborating across departments, and what have you learned?
7. What are your priorities for developing the programme further, integrating it into the curriculum and sustaining departmental collaboration?
