Course Information

English

Intended learning outcomes

Students will have the opportunity to engage in frequent academic discussions. After conducting research on an approved topic, students will have the opportunity to conduct basic research and present their findings either through presentations or structure discussions. Students will develop critical thinking skills and argumentation skills.

At a minimum, students are expected to know

general presentation skills;
academic vocabulary on a wide range of topics;
how to express themselves in formal, academic settings;
how to conduct general research on a narrowly defined topic; and
how to synthesize information.

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

This course will be conducted via blended-learning. This means there will be some classes when you will need to be present in the classroom, some where you are working on assignments on your own, and some where we are all online together (but not together in the same room). This schedule will be discussed and agreed upon with students insofar as possible. I will be in contact after the admission process (Aufnahmeselektion) is complete with further details.

You should have, at a minimum, a device with a stable internet connection, a microphone, and (should it be needed) a camera. These will facilitate any eLearning sessions in this course.

Course content

Students will research a topic within a framework set by the instructor and then present the results of the research.

Students will also prepare for and engage in class discussions and debates. Thematic classes will require students to read and watch course materials (available on Moodle) in order to inform critical, thoughtful debate. A wide variety of academic topics will be covered so that students will have ample practice to engage in formal, academic discussion in English.
