The Art of Storytelling in Academia, the Workplace, and Beyond ab B2 (Seminar)

Inhalt: As a Native American proverb says, "Tell me the facts and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.” In this seminar, we'll explore the power of storytelling and learn how to use narrative techniques to make your presentations more engaging, your academic work more compelling, and your personal and professional interactions more impactful. We'll begin by looking at descriptive writing, the power of creative language use, and general storytelling techniques. You will have many opportunities to apply and adapt those practices in both spoken and written English while enhancing your ability to connect with others and convey your ideas clearly and memorably. No prior knowledge is necessary. Everyone has their own stories to tell. What are yours?
