Aufbau des Kurses/Lernziele: This course aims to (a) make students aware of the specific linguistic features of scientific texts, (b) teach them the basic lexical and syntactic patterns needed for communication in their field, and (c) help them to gain a better general understanding of how language "works". For the latter a contrastive approach is used and particular attention is given to the phenomenon of "False Friends".
The class will work with a collection of introductions to selected fields of science and technology (see below). These basic texts will be supplemented by authentic reading and listening materials (professional magazines, manuals, tape recordings, video clips).
The following areas will be covered:
Part A (WS): Part B (SS):
1. Basic Mathematics 6. Internal Combustion Engines
2. The Structure of Matter 7. Electrical Drives and Generators
3. Materials Science 8. Metal-cutting Processes and Machine Tools
4. Basic Electronics / Electrical Components 9. Control Systems and Automation
5. Machine Elements
It is recommended to attend Part A before Part B. Parts A and B may, however, also be taken in reverse order, and each of them can be taken independently.

The first workshop focuses on making students aware of their inherent values and cultural norms when dealing with members from a different culture and expands on strategies how to interact sensitively, and how to notice and resolve misunderstandings that are based on cultural differences. The second workshop,which will be offered towards the end of the semester, will wrap up the project and review intercultural problems/ misunderstandings that students may have encountered with their partners in the Intercultural Partnering Project.
Leistungsnachweis: Active participation in both workshops and the communication course (E X.1.41.2) and a final written report on the Intercultural Partnering Project (5-8 pages).
