Reading

Requirements: Regular participation, homework and tests Written Exam

This course is specifically designed for the old B.A. (till SS 2013) and B.Ed. courses, which are running out. State Exam and candidates on the new B.A. programme (from WS 2013) can also take this course as an option.

The aim of this course is to raise familiarity with a range of text types, including academic texts, and to practise efficient reading techniques. As reading constitutes a major part of the studies, we hope that this course will support students in their academic careers. The course will build on the skills and knowledge gained in the Grammar and the Vocabulary courses. Students will be given both intensive assignments (shorter texts and extracts) as well as an extensive reading assignment (a whole novel).

Course materials will be made available at ca € 5.

Prerequisites: The Grammar and Vocabulary courses should have already been taken.
