230135 Grammar & Usage (S) (SoSe 2021)

Contents, comment

This seminar focuses on those areas of English grammar and usage that present particular challenges to (already proficient) users of English as a foreign language; its main purpose is to make sure that you have the ability to use grammatical structures, collocations and idiomatic formulations appropriately and correctly in a variety of contexts, with particular attention to the kind of language appropriate to an academic register. Apart from increasing your own mastery, you will, it is hoped, also pick up ideas for effective grammar instruction (which is useful even for those who are not planning to become teachers).
This digital seminar will take place via material and forums in the LernraumPlus and Zoom.

Student information

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.

At least 70% of the classroom activities and homework tasks need to be completed to earn credit for this course. Given the limited time available, we can barely scratch the surface in class; participants need to study independently and look for additional material online if they have individual areas of weakness. 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 Grammar & Usage seminar, and you should not take it until you have taken part in all the BM1 seminars.
