Time of the course: Thursdays 14:15-15:45
On this elective course BACHELOR students develop self-confidence in
typical situations in an English work place (e.g. giving presentations and
taking part in and chairing meetings). Furthermore, they should enhance their
sensitivity to different cultural situations. As communication skills have to
be developed, the focus will be on interactive teaching methods to give
students the chance to improve listening comprehension and speaking
performance. The students choose their own subjects for the course at the
beginning of the semester

Time of the course: Thursdays 11:45-13:15
Students are trained to perceive cultural differences and act accordingly. The
intercultural competence gained is both "culture-general" and
"culture-specific" (e.g. students will practice culture-specific
"crash investigations" in order to prepare visits abroad).
Theoretical insights into different working styles, different perceptions of
time, different religions, and different education styles are applied in
exercises and in concrete simulations involving active interaction if possible
with participants from several other cultures.

Time of
the course: Tuesdays 16.00-17.30
Students will set up a simulated
company and communicate with institutions and individuals in different
countries. The international project environment will enable the participants
to learn about the workings of a company as well as to practice dealing with
international project partners in a near-realistic situation. Students will be
able to put their intercultural knowledge into practice in real contact with
foreign partners in the preparation of a project meeting.
The topic this semester will be decided
by the students.
