 wöchentlich | Dienstag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 02.04.2024 - 05.07.2024 | C 5.109 Seminarraum

Inhalt: A conversation piece is something unusual that stimulates discussion. In this course, I will select an object, a piece of flash-fiction/short-short story, images/works of art, or an incident/news event, etc. to encourage you to actively participate in various speaking activities. These include – but are not limited to – guided discussions, mini-debates, impromptu mini-presentations, drama games, and roleplays. Although you will primarily practice enhancing your speaking skills and increasing your active vocabulary, you will also have the opportunity to improve your reading, listening, and writing skills based on the selected weekly activity. Curious? Then take a look at the syllabus (“Seminarplan”) for an overview of some “conversation pieces” awaiting you.
