Dozent/in:

Vorlesung und Übung, 1 SWS, ECTS: 3, Gaststudierendenverzeichnis, BA: Basismodul Sprachpraxis; no registration necessary!

Termine:

Mi, 18:00 - 19:00, U5/024

Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:

BA students only are required to pass a written exam at the end of the semester to obtain the credits. The overall grade is made up of this exam and weekly in-class quizzes.

Inhalt:

This lecture course focuses on the geography and history of the US from the first European settlements to the present; topics listed in the "US Landeskunde Question Catalog" are dealt with in a broader context. In addition to presenting this information, the course provides students with the opportunity to sharpen their listening comprehension skills. This course, together with Landeskunde US II, is seen as preparation for the Landeskunde portion of the Zwischenprüfung, Vordiplom and Staatsexamen.
According to the LPO I, Lehramt students are required to attend both the US and GB Landeskunde courses during their studies; students can specialize in either GB or US, but are strongly advised to have knowledge of both countries. Magister and Diplom students can specialize in one country as part of their preparation for Zwischenprüfung/Vordiplom.

Landeskunde US II

Dozent/in:

Katherine Snow

Angaben:

Vorlesung und Übung, 1 SWS

Termine:

Mi, 19:15 - 20:00, U5/024

Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:

This course is restricted to those students taking their Zwischenprüfung/Vordiplom or Staatsexamen at the end of this semester!

Inhalt:

This course focuses on both current and historical aspects of topics in American life (as listed in the Wegweiser). While Landeskunde US I is a lecture course, this course is intended to be more interactive: the instructor will provide an introduction into each topic and students are asked to present a portion of a topic to the class. This presentation should not only be seen as an opportunity to speak about the material, but a chance for students to practice (and receive feedback regarding) their spoken language skills before proceeding to their examinations. Like Landeskunde US I, this course is seen as preparation for the Landeskunde portion of the Zwischenprüfung, Vordiplom and Staatsexamen. Students are strongly advised to attend both the US and GB Landeskunde courses during their studies.
