231195 How to English Week (WS) (WiSe 2023/2024)

HtE week offers

• INFORMATION!

Please check for offers and information YOU need: e.g., If you are interested going abroad or in the "Internationalisation", "Internationalisation at Home" or "Praxisstudien" modules, attend the workshops on those (or check out the plentiful information in the LernraumPlus if unable to participate in the workshop). Questions about the Praxissemester in the M.Ed.? There are sessions for future primary and secondary school teachers. BaföG concerns? Attend the information meeting and ask your questions. Doing a "fachwissenschaftliche" degree, and never sure what to tell annoying aunties when they ask about your career? See the information session on career opportunities for non-teachers.

• INTERACTION!

Meet your representatives in the Fachschaft in How to Fachschaft and find out what they do. They can tell you anything you need to know, peer-to-peer! Meet the Professors (see "AMA with the Profs") and learn what they do in their sub-disciplines. Professors are the head honchos in British and American Studies. Ours are cool. Get to know them!

• SUPPORT!

Worried about the PM4 orals, the BM3 exam or the LPT? There are sessions on how to approach them. Need to write your first (or fifth) term paper or your BA thesis, but feel unsure about how to approach it or even begin? Then attend sessions such as How to Practice Academic Literacy, How to Digify your Writing, How to Write Papers in Linguistics or How to Plan Your BA Thesis - whatever is most useful. Uncertain how to plan your BA studies, or confused about the new study regulations (FSBs)in place from last semester onwards? Then attend Brian Rozema’s How to BA (new FSB) or How to Old vs New FSB workshops. And there are still more workshops designed to help you in your studies or career. Check the programme and flyer attached!

• FUN! FUN! FUN!

All of it, naturally. But for the greatest fun, come to C4-241 and Mix& Mingle every day during How to English from 10 am on. There is food and drink for the weary, you can chat to Fachschaft members and other peers, and friendly, hungry members of staff hang out there too. (To eat muffins of course. Not students.) Also guaranteed FUN if you attend the (students only!) Game Night and/or participate in the fabled English Drama Group's open workshop.

Again: even if you have a class in another subject when an important workshop takes place, this semester's HtE Moodle will remain online until the BIS kills it at some far point in the future. You can return to it whenever you need to to look up information. There are a wealth of useful uploads (also on topics not covered in live events) in the HtE Moodle.

Teilnahmevoraussetzungen, notwendige Vorkenntnisse

In "How to English", the teaching staff, invited guests and the student representatives (Fachschaft) offer a wide palette of informative, instructive, entertaining offers FOR ALL STUDENTS OF ENGLISH - from people starting starting their first semester to people in the MA or M.Ed., people about to embark on their professional careers, and everyone in between. How to English week is NOT an extension of the semester break. It's there to provide crucial information and answers to questions that are NOT covered in regular seminars.
