Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Content:
This course equips students with the skills and knowledge necessary for coping with highly specialised texts from a specific professional domain. The focus is on independent genre analysis and adapting texts to make them suit different target audiences and purposes. The texts will be taken from the world of English for Science and Technology (EST).

Aims:
- to develop the skills necessary to adapt to and acquire a wide range of new genres
- to understand the parameters that shape professional genres and how these parameters affect linguistic encoding and text structure
- to cope productively and receptively with highly specialised text types
- to acquire advanced strategies for mediating specialist texts, concepts, and communication
- ultimately, to communicate highly effectively in professional settings

Methods:
Communicative language practice based on the discussion of concepts from genre analysis
