NOTE: Erasmus students should attend Grammar for Erasmus Students before attending this course!

Inhalt:

Advanced Grammar Usage is an in-depth “polishing” course aimed at fostering the grammatical competence necessary for future English teachers, writers, or editors. The course provides opportunities for practice/rehearsal that are geared to helping students navigate the intricacies of advanced grammatical structures: tenses, aspect, mood, irregular verbs etc. Exercises, activities and explanations geared to assisting students identify advanced grammatical errors and areas of interference between English and German in order to foster the linguistic competence students need to make informed judgments on language produced by themselves and others – whether in order to fix a poorly translated website or to explain grammar points in the classroom.

Inhalt:

This course is designed for students of all faculties who have to write academic texts in English.

We will examine the typical style and vocabulary of academic writing, the linguistic tools needed for commenting of research sources (ex. literature reviews), producing summaries and composing different types of essays, as well as those needed for effective proofreading. We will look at the mechanics of writing, but this course also aims to help students become better academic thinkers and planners.

This course will involve collaborative work, and through guided practice students will learn to give peer feedback on their colleagues’ writing, helping them in turn to become better editors of their own compositions.
This course will be assessed by the means of a portfolio of texts written during the course (50%), and a final exam (50%).

This course is suitable for students from all faculties who need to use English in their studies. This course seeks to develop students’ reading skills, to help them become more efficient, critical readers in English, speaking skills for seminar participation and presentations, and listening skills for lectures. There will be some aspects of writing covered, such as how to create good sentences, how to paraphrase and how to write in a suitable style, however those who wish to focus on writing might instead wish to consider the specific writing courses offered by the language centre. We will of course be covering useful academic vocabulary and grammar, which students will have the chance to use in class in discussions and group work.

Information about sources will be given in the first class. Handouts and scripts can be found on the Virtueller Campus; the password will be given in the first class. Your final grade will be calculated from a mid-term exam and a final in-class exam in week 14.

Which sounds better, ”We all make mistakes” OR ”We all do mistakes”? ”My English knowledges could be better?” OR ”My English knowledge could be better?” Would you like to make your English more accurate and authentic? Then this course will help you to avoid making typical mistakes native speakers of German often make - in spoken and written English.

Areas of focus will include:
• Pronunciation pitfalls
• Vocabulary mistakes
• Grammatical gaffes in sentence structure, tenses and prepositions
• Malformed and misspelt words
• False Friends

A mid-term exam (worth 50% of the final mark) and a final examination (worth 50% of the final mark) comprise the components of the evaluation for the class.

This course is aimed at advanced M.A. and Ph.D. students both of English and from other disciplines and faculties within the University of Bamberg.
This course may also be attended by students in the European Joint Master s Degree English and American Studies.

Für Studienortwechsler, Erasmusstudenten sowie Studierende, die den Leistungsnachweis zur baldigen Prüfungsanmeldung benötigen, werden im begrenzten Umfang Plätze freigehalten. Bei Überbuchung des Seminars fällt die Entscheidung über die Teilnahme in Rücksprache mit der Dozentin/dem Dozenten.

Inhalt:

This block seminar is divided into two parts. The first session, Writing Academic Papers in English , will highlight the skills necessary to write in English at an advanced academic level and focus on abstract writing for both journals and conferences. The second session, Presenting Academic Papers in English , offers a review of the skills needed to become a successful presenter and the opportunity to present a 20-minute conference paper to the group with subsequent feedback from the other participants and the lecturer.

The course will ideally look at "work in progress" being carried out by advanced students as part of their doctoral programmes. It is not primarily designed for students of English, but for those who have to work in and with English within their academic careers.

If capacity allows, students writing other forms of academic work (essays, term papers, etc.) in English will be allowed to come to the class. It should be understood that this course is not designed as a forum to have papers or other pieces of writing corrected by the native-speaker instructor "for free"!

For prospective participants who do not have student access to FlexNow, an email announcing interest in participating in the course should be sent to the instructor (catherine.irvine@uni-bamberg.de) by 20.04.2015. All prospective participants will be informed by email about whether there is capacity for them to attend before the semester begins.

In addition, students who have not taken the Placement Test Einstufungstest (see details on the Anglistik homepage) and/or have not registered for the class via FlexNow are not guaranteed a place in that course for this semester!

Inhalt:

Activities in Grundkurs I focus on the three fundamental skills in the English language (reading, listening and writing). The aim is to make participants more proficient in understanding spoken and written English and to write with confidence. In this respect, Grundkurs I should be seen as an introduction to the skills necessary for the study of English and as a clear indicator for the participants' further progress in their university studies.

There will be two central examinations for all Grundkurs I classes, which will take place outside of regular class time and which can only be taken on the dates given on the course schedule posted on the VC and as individual dates (Einzeltermine) on univis. Students participating in class are required to register for these exams via FlexNow!

The course can only be attended in one semester, although the examinations are open to those students who were not successful in passing the course at the first attempt. In this semester, we are offering ONE “Grundkurs I for Repeater” class; we advise those who have to repeat to attend these classes, but, if this is not possible, please note the following information:

The content of all of the parallel Grundkurs I classes is identical.

The course will address some of the typical errors made by those whose English was and is not of the same standard as other beginning students at our university. Whether you failed the course last semester by just a few points or maybe by 20 or 30, it should be clear to you that you were below the standard required to be awarded a minimal pass for Grundkurs I. Your goal now will be to make sure that you at least pass the course the second time round, even if your achievement may still be not sufficient to justify a higher grade than a mere pass!

By looking at common errors and using example exercises as additional practice material, we hope that as many of you as possible make sufficient progress with the help of this course to continue in your studies!

This course focuses on both current and historical aspects of topics in American life. 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.

In this final exam, the time is shared between Textproduktion, which is the main focus of the Oberkurs, and translation/Sprachmittlung.

There will be two exams written outside of class that are based on tasks/skills required by the Textproduktion examination for Lehramt. The course will require students to demonstrate considerable linguistic complexity on all levels and have a high degree of competence in Landeskunde. It is therefore indispensable that students have already taken classes in GB and US Landeskunde and are aware that this course is primarily intended as realistic preparation for Lehramt students for the Textproduktion paper in their final exams. It is thus advisable to take this course after a longer period spent abroad.

For organisational reasons, we recommend that you take this course either before or after taking the translation course Sprachmittlung II! These two courses should not be taken in the same semester! In addition, students should plan their studies so that they are not taking the Oberkurs in the same semester as the Sprachpraktische Übung für Examenskandidaten either as these courses share exam times and contents.

The content and goals of both Oberkurs (Unterrichtsfach) courses are identical.

Each course has a waiting list, so that priority can be given to registrants based on their course of study and which semester they are in.

We reserve the right to ask students to move to different sections to create more equal numbers throughout the groups.

Inhalt:

To reflect the demands of the “new” LPO I, the Oberkurs is now offered as a two-hour course which, along with the course Sprachmittlung II, deals with the main language elements of the final exam (Staatsexamen). In this final exam, the time is shared between Textproduktion, which is the main focus of the Oberkurs, and translation/Sprachmittlung. This represents a 50% reduction in the time and scope of the Textproduktion and, for this reason, this course is now 2 SWS in length and is worth 3 ECTS.

There will be two exams written outside of class that are based on tasks/skills required by the Textproduktion examination for Lehramt. The course will require students to demonstrate considerable linguistic complexity on all levels and have a high degree of competence in Landeskunde. It is therefore indispensable that students have already taken classes in GB and US Landeskunde and are aware that this course is primarily intended as realistic preparation for Lehramt students for the Textproduktion paper in their final exams. It is thus advisable to take this course after a longer period spent abroad.

For organisational reasons, we recommend that you take this course either before or after taking the translation course Sprachmittlung II! These two courses should not be taken in the same semester!

The content and goals of both Oberkurs (vertieft; “new” LPO) courses are identical.

Vertiefungsmodul (3 ECTS)

Inhalt:

Important information regarding the "timing" for attending this course: as a result of changes suggested by the Ministry and the Prüfungsamt in the procedures for registering for the final exam, "new" LPO students are advised to take this class two semesters before writing the final exams (i.e. if you are taking the Staatsexamen in spring, you should attend this class in the previous summer term; if you are taking the Staatsexamen in autumn/fall, you should attend the class in the previous winter term). This will allow you enough time to have the grade for this course registered in FlexNow well before the deadline for submitting your final transcript to the Prüfungsamt arrives. “Old” LPO students can continue to take this class in the semester immediately before taking their final exams.
If this new information comes too late for you and you are very close to taking your exams (in Autumn 2015, for example), please let the instructor know in the first lesson so that your grade for this class can be processed quickly!
The two courses will mainly deal with revising and refreshing the skills required in the written Textproduktion examination. Exam candidates will also be able to do more detailed preparation for the Landeskunde oral exam in this course and need not attend "regular" Landeskunde classes/lectures again.
Occasionally and possibly due to the fact that students are not aware of the above changes in registration procedures and deadlines for the final exam, we have requests to take the Oberkurs and the Sprachpraktische Übung für Examenskandidaten at the same time. This is unfortunately not possible as the exams for both courses are usually identical and are partially written at the same time! Students obviously cannot have the same "Prüfungsleistung" acknowledged for two separate courses. The other aspect is a very practical one: students will be covering exam task types in the Oberkurs that are potentially "repeated" in the Sprachpraktische Übung für Examenskandidaten or, in the worst case scenario, students may face an exam task in the Sprachpraktische Übung für Examenskandidaten exams that has not been covered in the Oberkurs at all, but only addressed in the Sprachpraktische Übung für Examenskandidaten. Even if it means taking the Sprachpraktische Übung für Examenskandidaten in the final semester before taking the final exams, students affected by this problem should plan accordingly and continue taking the Oberkurs first and the Sprachpraktische Übung für Examenskandidaten in the subsequent semester.
