Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

OBJECTIVES
Students will learn to understand and analyse oral texts. They will also be briefly introduced to note taking and consecutive interpreting to get a first idea what interpreting is all about.

CONTENT
Students will practice active listening and understanding texts and will be expected to summarize oral texts and present their own texts in line with given instructions.

METHODS
Work in class will be both intralingual (English) and interlingual (English - German). Students will mostly work with a partner or in small groups to prepare assignments and present their work to the group for discussion and comparison.

Assessment and permitted materials

Regular attendance is mandatory (two absences allowed).
Active participation in class is expected.

Overall grading will be based on the following:
- 1 mid-term test (20%)
- 1 final test (30%)
- 1 group presentation (25%)
- 1 individual presentation (25%)
Please not that the cut-off for overall grading at the end of the semester is 60%, which means that students need to pass at least three of the above assignments.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Excellent knowledge of working languages.

Examination topics

Students are expected to apply the theoretical input given in class to new genres and unprepared texts/speeches.

Reading list

Available on Moodle and to be announced in class.
