Being able to write a good opinion essay is a key skill to master if you want to succeed at university. This course aims to provide students with a variety of basic skills with regard to written expression and to develop the participants' awareness of essential features of composition. Students can choose a topic focusing either on the UK, Ireland or the Commonwealth. An in-class presentation of the chosen topic is part of the course. Working on selected language aspects and making effective use of monolingual dictionaries will help course members to avoid the pitfalls of mother-tongue interference, in turn helping to improve lexical and stylistic accuracy. In addition to writing papers and essays, students will also practice other aspects of writing such as summarizing, paraphrasing, quoting, comparing and contrasting. For MA Ed. students: Interested students should register using the MA Education Sprachpraxis registration form available on the departmental website. Deadline: April 1st 2020. For all other students: Interested students should register via the e-mail address heinitma@hu-berlin.de. Deadline: April 1st 2020. |
