Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Please understand that this is a 6-ECTS course, which means about 150 hours of work, only ca. 25 of which are class time. Accordingly, you will spend about 8 hours a week in addition to the contact hours working for this course. You need to be able to dedicate that much time to it.Assessment is based on:
• Pre-paper activities (proposal & bibliography) – 10%
• The mini-paper (1st draft) – 40%
• The mini-paper (final version) – 20%
• Regular assignments throughout the semester (homework assignments, midterm, peer review, participation) – 30%
• Completion and submission of all tasks on time and in full.You need at least 60% to pass this course. You must reach a positive grade on at least one of the mini-paper submissions (first draft or final version), i.e. failing both mini-paper versions means that you will not pass the course, regardless of the overall points reached.Please note that attendance is mandatory. You are allowed to miss a maximum of two sessions, regardless of whether the absences are excused or unexcused. If you cannot attend the very first class, you need to inform your lecturer *before the end of that session*, otherwise your spot will be given to another student. Deadlines apply regardless of your absence.Any form of plagiarism (e.g., copying from other students or insufficient indication of sources) and cheating is prohibited. Please note that your work will be automatically checked for plagiarism using the anti-plagiarism software TurnItIn and the lecturer may arrange individual meetings to ask you questions about your mini-papers.Grading scheme:
1 (Sehr gut): 100-90%
2 (Gut): 89.9-80%
3 (Befriedigend): 79.9-70%
4 (Genügend): 69.9-60%

Students will be able to carry out a guided literature-based research project in English linguistics building on the knowledge acquired in the course.CONTENTS:
Building on the introductory module (STEOP), this course discusses the basics and ethics of academic writing and research methodology with the help of hands-on examples from English linguistics. Students will be familiarised with basic concepts and fundamental problems in English syntax. They will then individually investigate one selected topic and submit their findings in the form of a written paper.In this course, students are made familiar with:
• Basic concepts and problems in English syntax
• The basic principles and ethics of academic research
• Finding and evaluating academic sources
• The basic conventions of academic writing
• Selected resources and tools used in phonetic and phonological researchMETHODS:
Reading, discussions, peer-group interaction, in-class and online exercises, lecturer input, autonomous researchPREREQUISITES FOR ATTENDING THIS COURSE:
As this course builds on knowledge and skills acquired during STEOP (ISL1 and Language Analysis), knowledge of basic concepts and related terminology in the field of English linguistics are taken for granted. Additionally, writing skills such as paragraphing (topic sentence, support, etc.) and having a clear line of argumentation will be expected, and a basic understanding of the structure of an in-text citation will prove helpful.PLEASE NOTE: We strongly recommend that students complete ISL2 before taking PS1 - Syntax since many of the concepts used in the PS1 are discussed in the ISL2 lecture. We also strongly suggest that students have completed at least ILSS1 before taking this course.
