Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

We will ...
... critically review what grammar is/can be (grammar theory)
... work on selected topics (e.g. tense review, conditionals, affixes, gerunds & infinitives, modal verbs, reported speech, relative clauses, the passive, inversion, ...)
... explore the relationship between grammatical and stylistic choices.
... consider the diversity of Englishes
***Students are welcome (and very much encouraged) to suggest topics they would like to see covered***
The language of instruction is English.

Optional sessions for open questions and additional exercises may be offered during exam weeks. To ensure that these sessions meet students' needs, they will be consulted during the planning process.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

- Two tests (both written in class, one without dictionaries, one open book)
- Two graded assignments (written assignment, poster presentation)
- Submissions of shorter texts are required for formative feedback only (not graded)

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Test 1 (40%), test 2 (40%), assignments (20%) = final grade

Minimum percentage to achieve a given grade:
90% - 1
80% - 2
70% - 3
60% - 4
59% - 5 (fail)

Students must pass at least one of the tests (=60% or more) in order to pass the course. Attendance is mandatory; students may miss one session.

Prüfungsstoff

Both tests and the assignments will be based on the topics covered in class. Tests will feature theory-based questions (single choice, multiple choice, and open ended questions) and hands-on tasks (e.g. editing, proofreading, rewriting, completing sentences, etc.)

Use of AI is only allowed where explicitly indicated as part of the task.
