In this course, students will develop and practise the oral communication skills necessary for engaging in spoken academic discourse with an English-speaking audience on a variety of literary and cultural themes related to their studies. Particular attention will be given to Anglo-German differences in spoken academic discourse as well as how to structure and manage an academic speech in order to make it sound convincing and acceptable to an English-speaking expert audience. The importance of intonation and prosody in extended spoken English discourse will also be focused upon.
