The course aims at sharpening students' understanding of conventions regarding text organization, academic style and citation in German and English academic cultures. For this purpose, we will compare academic and general language texts from different genres and academic fields. There's weekly practice of summary translations, translations proper and rewrites. Each class will look into language features that represent typical patterns or pitfalls in German-English text transfer. Apart from the weekly texts to prepare, there is one midterm and one practice exam.
Only register for this course if you have already completed Module 7 (applies to BA Englisch students) or Modules 3 & 4 (applies to BA Amerikanistik students)
