Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students will be trained in the basics of analytic reception of oral texts. They will work intralingually (English) as well as interlingually (English - German). For better understanding, some of the first texts will be German. Students will practise listening and understanding texts, present their own texts and repeat oral texts. Notetaking will be briefly introduced. The course also helps students to get a first idea what interpreting is all about.

Assessment and permitted materials

Presence in class is required, active participation and the handing in of assignments are vital for positive final results. All performances are marked and part of continuous assessment.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

At the end of this course students should have the basic competencies necessary for understanding and repeating oral texts. They should be able to understand texts in an analytical way and produce coherent texts. Self-reflection and speed of reaction will be enhanced.

Examination topics

Students will be asked to analyse oral texts without notes (in summary as well as in detail), produce bilingual terminology (depending on topics dealt with), re-enact dialogues, write down oral texts listened to, etc.. Group work is essential to envolve all students in class work and give them sufficient feedback.
Methods for individual practising will be developed.
feedback by colleagues and teacher
recording of exercises and self-assessment
assignments

Reading list

Will be made known in class.
