239943 Grammar & Usage (S) (SoSe 2013)

Contents, comment

The main purpose of this seminar is to make sure that students are able to form and to recognize grammatically acceptable sentences and that they understand how the selection of appropriate grammatical structures and word choices depends on understanding the implications of various contexts and situations and is influenced by the speaker's/writer's intended communicative objectives.

The course will provide an overview of the grammatical structure of English sentences and the types of choices that must be made in composing sentences. The special difficulties of German learners will be the primary focus of our discussion and will form the most important basis for the various exercises and practice activities that we will engage in.
