Lehrinhalte
In the seminar, students are trained in competences that are expected of students in the Mechatronics degree programme in the area of oral and written communication. Own texts are worked out in scientific language so that they can be used in the subject studies.
The aim of the seminar is, on the one hand, to expand the students' general linguistic competence (above all vocabulary problems in the narrower sense) and, on the other hand, to make them transparent and aware of the culture-specific social expression typology (text type conventions, etc.) by making them aware of the intercultural change in the narrower sense (i.e. scientific habitus, speaker role, language style, etc.) in order to be able to comply with these, but also to avoid over-generalising inappropriate functionally imitative behaviour. The seminar is structured in a learner-centred way, as far as this is interculturally feasible. Authentic material is requested or produced.
