PRACTICAL ORGANISATION
This seminar will take place in "hybrid synchronous" mode, with a twist. Most of the participants will be at home and participate via Zoom - me included. (This is due to my very high risk status vis-à-vis Covid infection.) Those students who have to or want to be on campus at the time of the seminar can go to the seminar room every week and participate together via Zoom there. Instead of breakouts, these students can form actual groups for the interactive group-work phases. These students MUST please have a) their own devices, so they can follow on Zoom and b) headphones with microphones. Your devices' built-in mics and speakers can't be used in a seminar room, as there is massive echo and feedback if others are using also their devices' built-in mics and speakers nearby. When you speak yourself, you might also have to lift the earphones (but still use the earphones' microphone) or mute your speakers, because otherwise there's an annoying echo. This mode should enable those at home and on campus to participate, however, and at-risk participants to be safe.
SEMINAR CONTENT
In the Seminar "Argumentation, Communication and Critical Reading", you will develop skills needed throughout your English studies as well as in professional and private contexts after you graduate. The course offers you the chance to become a yet more proficient user of spoken English, and to express yourself appropriately, correctly, easily and confidently, particularly in discussions, talks and meetings. This includes working at contrastive aspects of pronunciation and honing the rhetorical and argumentational skills to describe complex interrelationships and diverse, perhaps even controversial, perspectives. In the critical reading component, you will practise techniques that help you to grasp the main points of academic texts quickly and accurately.
This digital seminar will mainly take place via Zoom.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
To complete the "Studienleistung" in this seminar, you need to participate actively in at least 70% of the speaking activities, including short individual presentations.
There is one Module Examination, the Language Proficiency Test, for all the Language Practice courses. (Basismodul 1). You do not have to take the test in the same semester as the ACCR seminar, and you should not take it until you have taken part in all the BM1 seminars.
