Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this course is to become aware of different types of texts and their requirements with special attention given to various text functions and types, media, target groups, writing processes, revision and argumentation. Furthermore, students improve and further develop their comprehension, writing, speaking and presentation skills. To achieve these objectives, we will work with different types of texts (written, audio and audiovisual), formats and genres in reading and listening activities, writing assignments and presentations. Assignments will be prepared individually and in groups, completed at home and presented in class.

Assessment and permitted materials

Assessment will be based on the following:
1 mid-term test (30%)
1 end-of-term test (30%)
Written and oral assignments (20%)
Portfolio & participation in class (20%)
60% of the above are required for a passing grade at the end of the semester.

Permitted materials include the materials provided in class and on the learning platform as well as online and print dictionaries. AI-based applications may be used upon instruction for specific work assignments. AI applications may NOT be used for any other work assignments.
