This
course builds on English language skills developed in earlier studies,
with a focus on the development of strategies for ongoing independent
learning. With the help of project management tools will have the
opportunity to
1.) create your own personal improvement plan,
2.) design and manage a group project and
3.) investigate your options and plan the next steps in your internationalisation.
On
this course, students develop self-confidence in typical situations in
an English workplace (e.g. giving short presentations about their
projects 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 projects for the course at the beginning and during the
semester.
