Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Developing awareness of current global(ised) English(es) and the linguistic, socio-political realities they entail. Finding your own voice in English in personal and professional communication. Learning to act responsibly in international and/or translingual communication settings.

Please note that the class will be held in English.

Assessment and permitted materials

Please be aware that this is a ‘prüfungsimmanente Lehrveranstaltung’ (continuous assessment) and you will be graded based on your active participation in and contributions over the course of the entire class.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Basic requirements: You need to be willing to participate in discussion, presentations and teamwork as well as hand in written assignments.

The final grade will be based on the following:

1) Participating in class
This is a continuous assessment class, which means that you are generally required to be present for all sessions. This is important also because each session builds on the ones before.
Your assessment will depend on your active participation in class (e.g., via answering and asking questions, contributing to group discussions etc.).

If you cannot attend a session, please let me know.

2) Completing assignments
Over the course of the class, you will be asked to complete several assignments of different kinds. These include reading academic texts, participating in online discussions, watching videos and listening to audio files as well as your presentation and discussion of these activities in class. Your assessment will depend on your completing, handing in and/or presenting your assignments in time and according to the task.

If you cannot finish an assignment in time and/or require assistance, please let me know.

3) Critical reflection
While part 1 (participation in class) and part 2 (assignments) refer to your being present and active, the final part of your grading depends on how well you demonstrate your critical reflection of the contents presented. Here, what matters is that you show that you have understood the ideas discussed, have formed your own opinions about them based on the relevant research and your personal life experiences and can apply them in your own approach to English and lingua-franca communication within the ethics of transcultural communication studies and related fields.

Examination topics

There is no separate exam for this class. For your participation and grading, everything discussed in class is relevant, including reading the selected literature.
