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.
The seminar will take place in the classroom and also via Zoom.
This seminar can only be taken by students who began their studies BEFORE the Summer Semester 2023, but have still not done the ACCR seminar in BM1.

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.
