Übung Advanced Language Skills

The aim of this course is to give students the opportunity to improve their language skills - both receptive (listening and reading comprehension) and productive (speaking and writing) - using a variety of authentic materials. Students will be able to apply these language skills within the same context. Such an integrated approach means that a practice unit might start off with a listening activity which would then be followed by a discussion and/or related reading texts, and finally rounded off with a written assignment. Students will also be encouraged to expand their vocabulary by focusing on a number of specific topics and vocabulary fields. As always, students will have the chance to encounter the target vocabulary in various activities, texts and exercises in order to reinforce the learning effect. Please pick up the relevant materials from the copy shop (Kopiersysteme Ewald Priebe, Segerothstr. 81) shortly before the semester begins. Bemerkung This course is aimed specifically at MA students to compensate for the fact that LA students have their own special language course (Language in the Classroom) in Module VII of their advanced study programme, although LA students who come under the old exam regulations may also be interested.
