LV-Beschreibung
Intendierte Lernergebnisse
This class aims to develop students' ability to speak in a clear, concise fashion, allowing them to interact with their colleagues and express themselves as fully as possible. Conversely, they should also recognise when they need assistance, and seek it both from their peers and the teacher. Up to the mid-term test, "personal statements" (short written summaries) are submitted weekly for a better understanding of English writing structure; after the test, this is replaced by longer readings of computer science articles.
Lehrmethodik inkl. Einsatz von eLearning-Tools
Developing Learner Dialogue is the method used. This allows and requires students to hold conversations, and then to work on those in terms of grammatical accuracy and fullness of expression.
Inhalt/e
The main components, with corresponding wordbanks, are Computer and Society, Technical and Social Networks, Technical Terminology (acronyms), English Content structure, Metaphor and Abstraction, Graphics and Animation, Software Engineering, Software Testing, Databases, Robotics, Video-streaming (latency), Sensors and Surveillance (privacy), Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, Fuzzy Logic. For more details see Moodle.
Literatur
The emphasis in the course is on the quality of discussion and explanation or clarification that can be achieved. Online dictionaries are useful for quick results, but paper dictionaries contain a) more lexicographic knowledge such as frequency of use, and b) the opportunity to "come across" other words.
A corpus-based dictionary: Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English; Longman Language Activator.
