Teaching methods -
The flipped classroom method is used in the teaching: students are given initial material to prepare at home, and then the topic is discussed further in the seminar. The active knowledge of the vocabulary and language skills of the lesson is subject to a test.

Syllabus -

Each topic in the syllabus corresponds to an orientation topic for the presentation. All presentations must first and foremost meet the formal requirements of an academic presentation!!!

For implementation + English phraseology, a set of Steps to an effective presentation is attached in SIS.

 

WITHIN THE WINTER TERM THERE WILL BE HELD COMPULSORY DISCURSIVE PRESENTATIONS!

One topic will be shared by two students in one joint presentation (each taking his or her own point of view, argumentation and/or thematic contribution).

Presentation topics of the respective lesson including a one-page handout for the rest of the class are required (15-20 minutes joint presentation strictly observed!).

 

Thematic headings and presentation topics for students of Art history / European culture history / Literature history / Philosophy/ Theology are based on Western Schools of Art. 

Texts focusing on specific Western artistic styles are the starting point. Specific methodological and linguistic exercises are developed in their context and must be completed and submitted to the teacher via email no later than 48 hours BEFORE the respeczive lesson!
However, specific presentations (concerning the given period or topic) can be loosely focused on the students' particular interest.

The topics correspond to the 12 teaching weeks (there are no presentations in the first teaching week):

Theme 1: Romanticism

Theme 2: Realism

Theme 3: Impressionism

Theme 4: Post Impresionism

Theme 5: Expressionism

Theme 6: Fauvism

Theme 7: Cubism

Theme 8: Dadaism

Theme 9: Futurism

Theme 10: Abstract Expressionism

Theme 11: Pop Art

Theme 12: Minimalism

 

The given topics of the syllabus will be alternatively supplemented and expanded (theoretical methodology, theological themes etc.)
