Suitability for modules:
This course is suitable for all degree courses involving English Linguistics (Lehramt, BA, etc.) where 2, 3, 4 or 6 ECTS are required.
Students enrolled in the MA English and American Studies can take part in this course, but they can only get it credited as part of the Master’s Thesis Module in Linguistics ("Betreuungsübung für Masterarbeiten" = "Master's Thesis Supervision"). That means, it will not count towards your Master Module, Consolidation Module or Profile Module.

Combination with "Methods and Theories in Linguistics":
In the early weeks of term, we offer an introductory block familiarizing students with linguistic research methods (the Übung "Methods and Theories in Linguistics"): https://univis.uni-bamberg.de/form?dsc=anew/lecture_view&lvs=guk/angl/engls/method&anonymous=1&founds=guk/angl/engls/method&sem=2022s&codeset=utf8. Participation in this Übung is recommended for anyone with a strong interest in Linguistics. For those BA students planning on doing their Ergänzungsmodul in Linguistics, for all students doing Lehramt Gymnasium and for all MA students, the course is obligatory at a certain point in their studies, so it is recommended to do it as early as possible. These participants are required to reserve the following times and dates: Monday, 2 May 2022, 8-10am, Thursday, 12 May 2022, 8-11am, and Friday, 13 May 2022, 8-11 am. To enable pre-planning, please register for the course in FlexNow and in the Virtual Campus course by 28th April at the latest: https://vc.uni-bamberg.de/course/view.php?id=52669
