Placement Test for English HaF courses
To attend English classes, students must take an obligatory placement test before the beginning of the semester. This helps us to place students in the correct level. The placement test evaluates grammar, reading, listening and vocabulary, and must be completed before FlexNow registration closes. Students who do not take the test may not be able to attend English courses this semester.
Description of the Placement Test
There are a total of 100 questions in the test. The questions slowly become harder in the later parts of the test. The time limit for the placement test is 60 minutes but students can submit the test earlier if they have finished. Students can return to any part of the test to check their answers at any point before they submit their test.
Test Results
No certificate will be issued for the completion of a placement test. The test cannot be “passed” or “failed”. Instead, after the evaluation of the test, the results will be posted on the following day in the Language Center and on the Language Center website with a score out of 100 and a recommendation for the level you should be taking courses at (B1, B2 etc.). When you have this information, you can register for a course at this level.
If you have taken a course in general English, you do not have to take a placement test again.
Results of the test are valid for four semesters
Additionally, students should register in FlexNow under Englisch: HaF Placement Test for one of the following test dates:
1) Tuesday, 18.4.2017 14:00-16:00 Uhr, WE5/04.014

Placement Test for English HaF courses
To attend English classes, students must take an obligatory placement test before the beginning of the semester. This helps us to place students in the correct level. The placement test evaluates grammar, reading, listening and vocabulary, and must be completed before FlexNow registration closes. Students who do not take the test may not be able to attend English courses this semester.
Description of the Placement Test
There are a total of 100 questions in the test. The questions slowly become harder in the later parts of the test. The time limit for the placement test is 60 minutes but students can submit the test earlier if they have finished. Students can return to any part of the test to check their answers at any point before they submit their test.
Test Results
No certificate will be issued for the completion of a placement test. The test cannot be “passed” or “failed”. Instead, after the evaluation of the test, the results will be posted on the following day in the Language Center and on the Language Center website with a score out of 100 and a recommendation for the level you should be taking courses at (B1, B2 etc.). When you have this information, you can register for a course at this level.
If you have taken a course in general English, you do not have to take a placement test again.
Results of the test are valid for four semesters
Additionally, students should register in FlexNow under Englisch: HaF Placement Test for one of the following test dates:
1) Tuesday, 18.4.2017 14:00-16:00 Uhr, WE5/04.014

NOTE: Erasmus students should attend Intermediate Grammar Usage 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.

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 (Master Module Language Proficiency).
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.
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 21.04.2017. All prospective participants will be informed by email about whether there is capacity for them to attend before the semester begins.

When you register for this course, you will receive an automated response that you are on the waiting list for the course. 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. You will receive notice approximately 3 days before the beginning of semester to confirm your spot in the course. We reserve the right to ask students to move to different sections to create more equal numbers throughout the groups.

BA Hauptfach/Nebenfach/LA Gymnasium/Realschule/Grundschule/Mittelschule, BA Berufliche Bildung, LA Hauptschule (Didaktikfach Englisch), Wipäd: Basismodul (3 ECTS)
Please note that all courses in Sprachpraxis are designed for students who have taken their Abitur in English. Students from other disciplines who wish to improve their English should check the webpages of the Sprachenzentrum. 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 Repeaters” class; we advise those who have to repeat to attend this class.
The content of all of the parallel Grundkurs I classes is identical.
- Empfohlene Literatur:
- The course book by Annette Kapel and Wendy Sharp, Objective Proficiency Student's Book with Answers with Downloadable Software, (Cambridge University Press, ISBN 9781107646377), should be purchased before classes begin.

Mehrfachanmeldung für Parallelkurse führt zum Verlust des Platzanspruchs! Dies gilt nicht für die Warteliste.
Only those students who have to repeat the Grundkurs I exams this semester are eligible for this course!
- Inhalt:
- 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!
Please register in this course for the GKI exams (in FlexNow)!
Please note that this course is an offer that we might not be able to make every semester, so seize this chance to take the course now!

Assignments practice and assess these various skills and also focus on the types of tasks found in the Textproduktion examination in Staatsexamen.
There will be three central examinations for all Grundkurs III classes, which will take place outside of regular class time. The examinations must be taken on the dates given on the course schedule posted on the VC and as individual dates (Einzeltermine) on univis. Students must register for these exams via FlexNow!
The content and goals of all Grundkurs III classes are identical.
N.B. Only one Grundkurs may be taken per semester. The completion of Grundkurs I and II is thus required for entry into Grundkurs III.

- This lecture course will deal with central topics concerning British life and institutions and will discuss some (if not all!) of the topics which are used as the basis for examinations. It should not only be seen as "the way to prepare for the oral exam", but also as an opportunity to learn about topics of interest related to Great Britain while also hearing spoken English.
It is recommended, especially for Lehramt students, 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.

- This course will look in greater detail at some of the subjects already dealt with in Landeskunde GB I. Students will be able to use the opportunity to discuss Landeskunde in more depth and in a smaller group than GB I. Student participation - in the form of short oral presentations - is a required element of this course so that the prospective examination candidate is not actively talking about Landeskunde for the first time in the examination itself!
Requirements for credits for this class will be discussed at the start of the semester.

- Inhalt:
- 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. Like Landeskunde US I, this course is seen as preparation for the Landeskunde portion of later examinations.
Requirements for credits for this class will be discussed at the start of the semester.

Please note that this course is not a substitute for Landeskunde US I or Landeskunde US II (see the Modulhandbücher for further information about which Landeskunde class(es) are required for your course of study)
- Inhalt:
- This course focuses on the geography and history of the U.S. day as figured in American cinema from the first European settlements through the present day. In addition to presenting this information, the course provides students with the opportunity to sharpen their listening and comprehension skills.
This course, Film and the American Landscape, aims to refresh your knowledge of geography from the winter semester through the (literal) lens of historically and culturally important motion pictures. This course will explore how representations of various geographic spaces in American film impact our understanding of community, identity, and place. Any given geographical space can hold diverse meanings for various groups of people, and how such is represented in film is often fused with issues of power, stereotype, and the construction of the Self and Other.
Students will watch and analyze a variety of narrative, documentary, indie (independent), and major studio films to understand how America’s rural, urban, and suburban spaces are represented in cinematic art. Issues to consider: How do these films reflect, contradict, influence or even challenge lived experiences in these spaces? Can film provide us “access” to spaces we ourselves might never physically enter?

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 (vertieft; “new” LPO) courses are identical.

This course may also be attended by students in the European Joint Master s Degree English and American Studies (Master Module Language Proficiency).

Placement Test for English HaF courses
To attend English classes, students must take an obligatory placement test before the beginning of the semester. This helps us to place students in the correct level. The placement test evaluates grammar, reading, listening and vocabulary, and must be completed before FlexNow registration closes. Students who do not take the test may not be able to attend English courses this semester.
Please don’t forget to bring a set of headphones with you!
Description of the Placement Test
There are a total of 100 questions in the test. The questions slowly become harder in the later parts of the test. The time limit for the placement test is 60 minutes but students can submit the test earlier if they have finished. Students can return to any part of the test to check their answers at any point before they submit their test.
Test Results
No certificate will be issued for the completion of a placement test. The test cannot be “passed” or “failed”. Instead, after the evaluation of the test, the results will be posted on the following day in the Language Center and on the Language Center website with a score out of 100 and your CEFR level (B1, B2 etc.). When you have the confirmation of your CEFR level, you can register for a course at the correct level.
If you have taken a course in general English, you do not have to take a placement test again. If you are a student of Anglistik/English and American Studies, you do not have to take this placement test at all!
Results of the test are valid for four semesters.
Additionally, students should register in FlexNow under Englisch: HaF Placement Test for one of the following test dates:
1) Monday, 04.04.2016 14:00-16:00 hrs, WE5/04.014
2) Wednesday, 06.04.2016 10:00-12:00 hrs, WE5/02.005
3) Monday, 11.04.2016 16:00-18:00 hrs, WE5/04.014
4) Monday, 18.04.2016 10:00-12:00 hrs, WE5/04.014
If you have any questions about the HaF placement test, please contact catherine.irvine(at)uni-bamberg.de for more information.
- Inhalt:
- The course objectives are to enhance students’ ability to structure and deliver oral presentations in English. We will focus on the differences between oral and written communication, simple rhetorical techniques and the functional language required to present and communicate successfully.
The students will learn to:
• present an argument in their individual field of study convincingly and persuasively
• interact with the audience by expressing opinions; agreeing and disagreeing with statements; politely interrupting; clarifying statements; and asking and answering questions
• use simple rhetorical techniques in presentations
The course includes opportunities to practise elements of a presentation before leading to a 20-minute presentation at the end of the course. Group feedback will enable students to become aware of their strengths and weaknesses, develop strategies to overcome their weaknesses and hone their presentation skills. Regular participation and preparation is expected for the successful completion of the course.

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.
