Zuordnung im Vorlesungsverzeichnis
Letzte Änderung: So 06.03.2022 20:09
In this course, we will assess (read/analyse), compose (design) and edit (adapt) texts. We will work with pen and paper, keyboard and screen. We will identify and mimic patterns—and break with patterns. GENRE, REGISTER, TEXT TYPE, DOMAIN, SUBLANGUAGE, AND STYLE will come as our toy blocks and building bricks, and we will try to drop them in our ‘shape sorter cubes’. On first sight, a written text (printed matter—on paper or on screen) seems to be a rather stable (fixed?) entity when compared to the spoken word—but the ground is always moving …
As we often work in highly asymmetric communicative settings, we will not only determine the purpose of a given assignment but also reflect upon the concept of PURPOSE in general: Whose purpose, really? What is stated, what implicit? To whose benefit?
The course provides collaborative opportunities to jointly work on texts with your peers. We will discuss choices, compare solutions, and rehearse ideas and arguments before you create your own texts individually or as a team. Our class will also provide stimuli to think and move beyond templates (i.e., dominant, widely circulated formats), thus working on texts that are fit to print and not only printed to fit.
In our class, you will experience a cooperative and supportive environment.
Learning objectives:
(i) to help students to develop their assessment and composition repertoire (including design, visuals, hyperlinks, etc.);
(ii) to hone reading and design skills with a focus on the communication situation and text organization.
In-class readings, regular writing assignments w/ presentation in class, peer reviews. Individual, pair and group work.
So, let’s hit the ground running …
