Annotation -
This option serves partly remedial, and partly consolidating, functions. It is also designed to deepen the student’s knowledge and may have a motivating force. It focusses on the primarily langue disciplines. The seminar strives to interrelate theory with practical analysis, and wherever necessary, adopts the contrastive approach. The students take a crucial, active part in seminar activities, viz. through presentations on the selected given topics, through their peer-reviewing of the presentations, and by analysing specific authentic text samples in view of the particular linguistic areas. The lessons may occasionally combine features of lectures, seminars and workshops.

Course completion requirements

       Graded credits will be given to students meeting the following requirements:

a)     Active participation in seminars (one missed seminar per semester is allowed)

b)    one presentation on a selected given topic (prior to the presentation in seminar, however, the paper has to be turned in in writing and acknowledged)

c)     one peer-reviewing of a collegue’s presentation on a selected given topic

d)     passing a credit test (composed of two parts equal in value, one verifying the relevant theoretical knowledge (max. 30 pts) and one verifying relevant practical analytical skills (max. 30pts); for a successful pass of the credit test, there is a minimum requirement of 42 pts (i.e., 70% in all).  Not meeting conditions a) active participation, b) presentation and c) peer reviewing precludes the credit for the subject in the semester automatically. The grade is established on the result of the credit test.
