Learning outcomes:
On the basis of the knowledge acquired in the mandatory Bachelor modules, this module focuses on the written and oral presentation of scientific ideas in team meetings and at conferences such as the IEEE Students´ Conferences.
To this end, students will first acquire the linguistic skills and knowledge necessary for writing scientific papers.  Based on their papers, they will learn to develop strategies for the conception of lectures and posters, as well as the linguistic means for their design and presentation.
A communicative-pragmatic approach will be taken here. Students will also deepen their previously acquired knowledge about appropriate intercultural communication in English-speaking countries and English as a bridge language. All of the four basic skills (reception, production, interaction and mediation) will be trained in an integrated manner. Content development is supported by the repetition of the relevant linguistic structures and special features. Whenever possible, content from the English-language electives in the Master program will be used.
