The main purpose of this seminar is to make sure that students have the ability to use grammatical structures appropriately and correctly in a variety of contexts. The main focus of this class, however, lies on the verb.

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.
I expect my students to work on their reading and tasks during our allotted class time.
I'm available via phone (0521-106-3613), zoom, or email (v.gramley@uni-bielefeld.de) and during my office hour in zoom.
This seminar requires you to engage in independent study activities that will provide practice in those areas of English grammar that are especially problematic for German learners in general and for you personally. You must complete a midterm and final set of questions (achieve at least 50%) to earn credit for this course. This work will help you to assess your personal strengths and deficits in the mastery of English grammar.
