This course is a short one-week practical review of productive academic skills, in English. With a focus mainly on practicing writing and speaking, we’ll review what ‘academic’ really means, covering appropriate vocabulary and formality. We will also review the basic process and structure of writing (from paragraphs to papers) and presentations, plus practicing these. We’ll also review related skills including, for example, paraphrasing, when to use citations, how to approach AI tools, and what to know when presenting your findings in front of a group. Instructor feedback and language advice are of course integral.

Sie verstehen schon Kurdisch aber können es nicht besonders gut (Lesen, Sprechen, Schreiben)? Sie sind mit Kurdisch aufgewachsen, sprechen aber bilingual Deutsch? Sie wollen die "elementare Sprachverwendung" in mündlicher und schriftlicher Form erwerben oder ausbauen? Dann kommen Sie in den Kurs "Kurdisch für Insider".
Kurdisch für Insider ermöglicht durch abwechslungsreiche Themen weiterführende Kenntnisse des Kurdischen. Die Themen sind speziell für Studierende ausgesucht.
