Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Content:
In LIU 1 and LIU 2, students work with and analyse a wide range of text types, literary and non-literary. They develop an awareness of how texts are used (to inform, to explain, to persuade, to convince, to move to action, to delight, or any combination of these) and learn how to identify characteristic features of different text types and explain their effects. These insights will have a positive impact on students' own production of spoken and written texts. On the level of text analysis, the focus in LIU 1 is on non-literary texts such as (political) speeches, advertisements/commercials, review (books, films, restaurants, exhibitions), and news items. On the level of text production, students in LIU 1 write analytical essays.

Aims:
- to raise awareness of the importance of lexical, grammatical and stylistic choices in text
- to develop functional discourse competence and awareness of audience and purpose
- to develop increased awareness of register and appropriateness
- to deepen and refine insights into the language system and lexis

Methods:
Communicative language practice, analysis of spoken and written texts

Assessment and permitted materials

Homework/classwork:
- Two graded essays (text analyses)
- Language Engagement and Autonomous Development (LEAD) Portfolio
- Presentation

Final test (on site, text analysis, use of hard-copy dictionaries permitted, no other aids).

Text analyses will be assessed for task fulfilment, text competence, linguistic range, linguistic accuracy.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Attendance: max. 2 absences
In-person attendance is compulsory in this language course, as authentic communication, regular interaction, cooperative learning, and immediate feedback are essential for developing advanced language competence. You may miss up to two classes without consequence. Attendance at the first class of the semester is mandatory.

Part 1: Coursework 60% (= 2 assignments: 25% + 25%, Language Engagement and Autonomous Development (LEAD) Portfolio: 10%)
Part 2: Final Test 40% (on site)

Both parts must be completed and must be positive. Student work is graded according to the following criteria: task fulfilment, text competence, linguistic range, linguistic accuracy.

In addition, students must deliver an oral presentation.

Grading scale:
1 (Sehr gut) 100-90%
2 (Gut) 89-80%
3 (Befriedigend) 79-70%
4 (Genügend) 69-60%
5 (Nicht genügend) 59-0%

Students’ work may be subjected to the plagiarism detection software Turnitin. The lecturer may arrange individual meetings to ask students questions about their submissions.

Examination topics

Continuous assessment is based on what is covered in the course and the course reader; relevant materials will be provided in class and on Moodle.

Reading list

Students will continue to use the reference books suggested on the "Toolkit" handout from ILSS 1 and 2. A course reader is available online.
