This two-term seminar is designed as a practical language foundation course compulsory for all first-year students on the Anglistika-Amerikanistika bachelor's programme. Its primary aim is to better equip the student for academic studies in the field by: – further activating and developing productive skills in both speaking and writing for application in the academic environment – maximizing proficiency in the receptive skills of reading and listening for application in the academic environment – consolidating and extending advanced language-structural (grammatical, syntactical) skills – expanding lexis particularly – although not only – in preparation for study in the specialist field (linguistic terminology etc) and for academic writing in general – increasing lexical awareness and scope particularly with regard to collocation, synonymity, phraseology and idiomaticity – working on finer details of pronunciation as and when necessary – paying attention to English-language style and appropriacy in the academic environment. |
