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.

Inhalt:

This block seminar is divided into two parts. The first part, 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 part, 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 masters and 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 07.04.2014. All prospective participants will be informed by email about whether there is capacity for them to attend before the semester begins.

LA HS (Didaktikfach Englisch), Basismodul (3 ECTS)

BA Hauptfach/Nebenfach, Basismodul (5 ECTS). BA-Studierende sind verpflichtet, gleichzeitig an einem Conversation-Kurs teilzunehmen und aktiv mitzuarbeiten!

Please note that all courses in Sprachpraxis are designed for students who have taken their Abitur in English; we are not able to offer beginners' courses! Students from other disciplines who wish to improve their English should check the courses of the Sprachenzentrum listed as fakultätsübergreifende Lehrveranstaltung. In addition, students who have not taken the Placement Test Einstufungstest (see details as to date and location on the Anglistik homepage) and/or have not registered for the class via FlexNow are not guaranteed a place in the 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 this class:

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

Empfohlene Literatur:

Grundkurs I (for Repeaters)

Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches:

Eine Anmeldung ist erforderlich.
An- und Abmeldefristen im FlexNow-Onlinesystem entnehmen Sie bitte der Website des Sprachenzentrums.

Only those students who have to repeat the Grundkurs I exams this semester are eligible for this course!

Inhalt:

As you probably know, we normally exclude students who do not manage to pass the Grundkurs I exams at the first attempt from attending the “regular” classes again. As we have additional teaching capacity this semester, we have decided to offer one course for those students who need to repeat the Grundkurs I exams this semester.

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!

Grundkurs II continues and expands the skills which were dealt with in Grundkurs I. The course uses the same course book, but works at a faster pace, demanding more participation and more preparation from the students.

There will be two central examinations for all Grundkurs II classes, which will take place outside of regular class time, a series of graded quizzes and an oral examination.

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.

Oberkurs (Neue LPO; Unterrichtsfach)

LA Realschule/Grundschule/Hauptschule, Vertiefungsmodul (3 ECTS); B.Ed. Berufl. Bildung/Fachrichtung Sozialpäd., Vertiefungsmodul (3 ECTS;Students must have fully completed the Basis- and Aufbaumodule in Sprachpraxis to enter this class!

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.

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! It is also not possible to take Oberkurs and the Sprachpraktische Übung für Examenskandidaten in the same semester, as the Oberkurs prepares students for some but not all of the task types addressed in the Staatsexamen. Moreover, the exams for both courses are usually identical and are partially written at the same time! Students cannot have the same Prüfungsleistung acknowledged for two separate courses.

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

Eine Anmeldung ist erforderlich.

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 2014, 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.

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. Please make sure you are there in the first class!

BA students do not need to take this class!

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 make sure you are there in the first class!
