Kommentar

The course is designed to strengthen your academic writing in English. To this end we will deal with the components of essaywriting: the design of the introductory, main body, and concluding paragraphs as well as the conventions of MLA 8. Naturally,we hope the course will also deepen your knowledge of English. At advanced levels, language can only be deepened by usingit to do challenging tasks - and few tasks are more challenging than writing good argument.The number of participants in this course is limited to 20 students.FORMAT: The course will be conducted synchronously with some asynchronic elements. Whenever we meet on Zoom, it willbe in the originally announced time slot.

Kommentar

Improving your expression in and knowledge of English through intensive comparison and contrast with German: that is themain purpose of this course. Translation is a powerful tool for improving your proficiency because it uses your native language- your semantic bedrock that all your explorations in the second language build up from. Alan Duff: `Translation developsthree qualities essential to all language learning: flexibility, accuracy, and clarity. It trains the learner to search (flexibility)for the most appropriate words (accuracy) to convey what is meant (clarity).` You learn to think from words and structuresto meanings - translation sensitizes you to the nuances of style and meaning better than anything other language learningactivity. By contrasting the meanings of words and syntax, you can move away from literal (whatever that means!) translationsto meaning (whatever that is!). When you think about it, any real interaction with an author or a person speaking involves actsof translation - the deeper the engagement, the more challenging and fruitful the translation.The number of participants in this course is limited to 20 students.FORMAT: The course will be conducted synchronously with some asynchronic elements. Whenever we meet on Zoom, it willbe in the originally announced time slot.

Kommentar

The seminar will take place in a synchronic online format in the form of zoom meetings on Fridays, 8:15-9:45 am .

In this course we will focus on a variety of phonological phenomena in Modern English. Based on some general principlesand concepts of phonetics and phonology we will discuss particular specific phenomena of the sound system and thepronunciation of Modern English, such as the length of vowels, rhoticity, word stress, assimilation, flapping, glottalization, etc.In our discussions we will also include a contrastive view on German and English as well as aspects of regional and socialvariation. The precise topics will be fixed and distributed in the first session. At the end of the semester students shall haveacquired an understanding of the most important proprties of Modern English sound structure and shall be able to construe ahypothetical linguistic project of their own in the field of Modern English Phonology.

Kommentar

The seminar will take place in a synchronic online format in the form of zoom meetings on Thursdays, 10:15-11:45 am.

This course deals with changes in the lexicon of the English language from its beginning up to the present day. We will startout with some general assumptions about the units in the lexicon of a language and how they are related to each other.Then we will discuss important mechanisms of lexical and semantic change with a special focus on lexical borrowing, wordformation and semantic change. In the following we will chronologically go through the history of English and, based onstudents‘ presentations, investigate selected topics related to the changes in the English lexicon. Such topics may be relatedto: the structure of the Old / Middle / Early Modern English lexicon; the Celtic, Latin, Scandinavian, French influence on theEnglish lexicon; Word formation patterns in Old-, Middle, Early Modern English; Semantic change; the enrichment of theEnglish vocabulary due to the colonial expansion; the increasing productivity of zero derivation and other types of wordformation in Modern English; changes in the English lexicon due to the new media; the use of corpora in the study of EnglishHistorical Lexicology. The precise topics will be fixed and distributed in the first session. At the end of the semester studentsshall have acquired an understanding of certain mechanisms of lexical-semantic change in the history of English and shall beable to construe a hypothetical linguistic project of their own in the field of English Historical Lexicology.

Kommentar

While mobile platforms have the potential to increase our communication possibilities, little is still knownabout how conversational practices are adapted to these new forms. Recent studies stemming from a conversation-analyticapproach to the study of mediatized communication referred to as ‘digital conversation analysis’ (Giles et al., 2015), haveshown striking similarities and differences at various conversational aspects between text, instant, and chat messagingwritten interactions and spoken conversations. This advanced course draws on these recent studies and provides an initialexploration of how human interaction takes place via smartphone-based messaging applications (e.g. WhatsApp). Throughthe methodological apparatus of Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics, we will unpack the “grammar-in-action” ofreal-world conversations in these media. Particular attention will be given to text-based interactions with multilingual speakersand in pedagogically-related environments.

87013 S - Theories of Language Change



Links:


Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.The English language has changed dramatically over the past six to seven hundred years. Throughout history, people noticedthat language, like everything else, is in a continuous state of change. Thus, from its beginning, linguistics has been looking atlanguage change. In this class we will therefore look at the various theories, which have been proposed to explain languagechange. We will also discuss language-external (e.g. language contact) and language-internal (e.g., structural instability)motivations for language change and look at spe-cific manifestations of language change at all levels of linguistic description,i.e., phonological, grammatical, semantic and pragmatic changes. At the end of term, we will hopefully be equipped with thenecessary knowledge to sensibly discuss the question put forward by Jean Aitchison (2001), as to whether language changeis to be seen as progress or as decay.

Kommentar

Für weitere Informationen zum Kommentar, zur Literatur und zum Leistungsnachweis klicken Sie bitte oben auf den Link"Kommentar". “A contrastive analysis can be seen as the complement of a typological study. Instead of comparing a largenumber of languages with respect to a small subsystem or a single variant property (word order, case marking, passiveconstruction, etc.), only two languages are compared with respect to a wide variety of properties.” (König & Gast 2012: 3)The aim of this course is to thoroughly compare the two genetically related languages English and German. By contrastingthese languages, we will get a better understanding of each of them individually, discover useful implications for languageteaching, the study of bilingualism as well translation practices, and we will also find out about the nature of the changesthat have ultimately led to the separation of English and German within 1,500 years. We will not focus on similarities buton major differences by comparing grammatical structures. We will look at many different aspects of language, such asphonology, morphology, tense and aspect, modality and word order. In order to successfully follow and complete the course itis necessary that you have taken and passed the module introduction to linguistics.

87052 S - Travel Writing Since the 18th Century


1 S Do 12:00 - 14:00 wöch. Online.Veranstalt 15.04.2021 Dr. Andrea Kinsky-Ehritt

Kommentar

Travel writing is a specific literary genre with a long history back to antiquity. Travel has been undertaken for political, religious,educational and commercial, but lately also for leisure reasons. A common travel proverb says: ‘The world is a book, andthose who do not travel, read only a page.’ This alludes to the textuality of `the world` that needs reading/deciphering. And itleads us the awareness that travel links to aspects of status, means and privilege, to knowledge and authority.In this context, the course will focus on relationships between power and knowledge, the authority of eyewitness and thediscursive situatedness of the traveller/reader in travel writing and will contemplate them as part of (gendered) representationsof the British Empire since the 18th century.This course will be a hybrid online seminar with synchronous and asynchronous phases. The online session with life meetingsin a forthnightly rhythm. This will require you (!) to be online for a Zoom meeting during course times every 2 weeks! Youshould therefore make sure that you reserve the regular seminar slot for this course.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.The state-of-the-nation novel is a name given to a specifically British type of political prose narrative, modelled on a certainstrand of Victorian novels – most notably, works by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell and Anthony Trollope – and generallyfeaturing a complex constellation of various characters in an urban setting, typically conveying a modern sense of alienationand moral confusion. While one might dismiss this traditional approach to probing into the structure of feeling of a nation ata specific time (including its political elites and the larger society) as somewhat dated and overcome, the state-of-the-nationnovel has had a recent revival with the so-called Brexit Fiction associated with writers like Jonathan Coe, Anthony Cartwright,Ali Smith and Amanda Craig. This course will look at the state-of-the-nation novel in various historical contexts, paying specialattention to its most recent figuration after the Brexit referendum. A general question will be how this national approach toliterature writing can nonetheless be understood as a kind of world literature engaging with the effects of globalisation.

Kommentar

T he earth, the planet, the globe: does it matter what name we give to the world (already a fourth term!) we inhabit? Overthe past twenty years or so, the awareness of living for better or worse in a globally interconnected world has intensifiedand become ubiquitous. Yet while globalization around the turn of the millennium seemed to promise the emergence ofa borderless world-wide cosmopolis, today’s geopolitics is busy erecting new walls and militarizing old borders acrossthe fault lines of poverty, race, citizenship and religion. The only phenomena that are still global seem to be transnationalfinance capital and the universal risks of climate change, melting pole caps, large-scale deforestation, rising sea levels andpandemics. Bleak prospects indeed that call for rigorous critique that may, hopefully, generate some alternate perspectives. Inour seminar we will read and discuss a number of critical and creative, theoretical and artistic interventions that contribute tothe ongoing construction of ‘the world’ – as planet, as globe, as earth, as …

We will read theoretical and activist texts by writers like Bruce Robbins, Rob Nixon, Gayatri Spivak, Naomi Klein, Hito Steyerland Pheng Cheah, among others.

Für weitere Informationen zum Kommentar, zur Literatur und zum Leistungsnachweis klicken Sie bitte oben auf den Link"Kommentar".›Digitale Literaturwissenschaft‹ lässt sich als Oberbegriff für eine Menge von Fragestellungen und Analysetechnikenbegreifen, die entweder einen besonderen Fokus auf die Transformation des Gegenstandes durch die Digitalisierung (z.B.digitale Literatur: Hypertext, Blogs, algorithmische Texte) legt oder eigene digitale Methoden der Erforschung, Erschließungund Exploration einsetzt (z.B. Stylometrics, Topic Modeling, Network Analysis). Im Seminar werden wir uns v.a. auf die zweite,methodische Dimension der Digitalen Literaturwissenschaft konzentrieren und uns im Zuge dessen auch einen Überblicküber das Feld der Digital Humanities erarbeiten. Das Seminar ist als erste Annäherung an die Digitale Literaturwissenschaftangelegt. Es führt ein in: a) grundlegende theoretische Aspekte der Arbeit mit digitalen, insbesondere quantitativen Methodenin der Literaturwissenschaft b) in die praktische Anwendung von digitalen, insbesondere quantitativen Methoden aufliterarische Texte in deutscher und englischer Sprache c) in Techniken des digitalen, projekt- und teambasierten Arbeitensin interdisziplinären Teams. Dabei erarbeitet das Seminar d) auch Grundlagen für eine kritische Diskussion der Potenzialeund Grenzen digitaler Forschungsmethoden der Literaturwissenschaft. Im Rahmen des Seminars sollen dabei grundlegendeKompetenzen aus dem Feld der Digital Literacy für Literaturwissenschaftler*innen vermittelt, reflektiert und diskutiert werden.Das Seminar setzt zwangsläufig eine gewisse Affinität zur Arbeit mit Computern voraus. Dringend empfohlen wird diebegleitende Teilnahme am praxisorientierten Seminar »Kulturdaten – Datenkulturen«, das sich der Erprobung und dervertieften Anwendung der im Seminar »Einführung in die digitale Literaturwissenschaft« thematisierten Methoden widmet.Das Seminar wird durchgeführt im Rahmen des BMBF-Projekts »Forschen | Lernen – Digital« (FoLD) English version: ‘Digitalliterary studies’ can be understood as a rather generic term for a number of research questions and techniques of analysisthat either focus on the transformation of its subject through the processes and means of digitization (e.g. digital literature:hypertext, blogs, algorithmic texts) or employ their own digital methods of research, development and exploration (e.g.stylometrics, topic modelling, network analysis). In this seminar we will concentrate on the second strand –the methodologicaldimension of Digital Literary Studies– and will work to gain an overview of the field of the Digital Humanities. The seminar isdesigned as a first approach to digital literary studies. It introduces: a) fundamental theoretical aspects of working with digital–especially quantitative– methods in literary studies b) the practical application of digital, especially quantitative methods toliterary texts in German and English c) techniques of digital, project-based work in interdisciplinary teams. In this context, theseminar will d) also develop the foundations for a critical discussion of the potentials and limits of digital research methods inliterary studies. Thereby, the seminar will teach, reflect and discuss basic competences in the field of digital literacy for literaryscholars. The seminar inevitably requires a certain affinity for working with computers. It is strongly recommended to attendthe adjacent seminar: "Kulturdaten – Datenkulturen. Ein literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Hackathon", which is dedicatedto the testing and in-depth application of the methods discussed in the seminar "Introduction to Digital Literary Studies". Thisseminar is part of the BMBF project ”Forschen | Lernen Digital” (FoLD) Please note: As this seminar is a cooperation with theDepartment of German Studies Prof. Dr. Peer Trilcke (Germanistik). Teaching language will be German.

Die rasant fortschreitende Digitalisierung unserer Kultur schafft Daten über Daten über Daten: Archive, Bibliotheken, Museenund andere Einrichtungen, dazu unzählige Initiativen, NGOs, Einzelpersonen erzeugen eine immer reichere Kulturdatenwelt.Während sich damit auf der einen Seite neue und drängende Fragen – etwa zu Eigentum, Identität, Zugang – stellen,bergen diese Kulturdaten auch die Möglichkeit für neue Wege der kreativen und innovativen Bereitstellung, Verarbeitung,Vermittlung, Verhandlung und Erforschung von Kultur. Um all die neuen digitalen Kulturdaten herum entstehen eben auchneue Datenkulturen: wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, kreative, aktivistische und viele mehr. In diesem Seminar möchten wir mit Ihnen gemeinsam – aus einer kultur- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive heraus –nach Wegen des Umgangs mit Kulturdaten und nach zeitgenössischen Datenkulturen fragen. Das Ganze ist ein Experiment,das Ihre kreativen Energien freisetzen will: Was wollten Sie – wissenschaftlich-kreativ, gestalterisch-forschend, künstlerisch-analysierend – schon immer mal mit Kulturdaten machen? Was sind Ihre Ideen von einer zukünftigen Datenkultur? WelcheFragen haben Sie, als Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaftler*innen, angesichts der allgemeinen Datafizierung unserer Kultur?Welche Rolle spielt Datenkultur in der Perspektive globaler Gerechtigkeit und der Aneignung und Herausgabe von Wissen? Das Seminar wird im Schwerpunkt aus einer zweitägigen (virtuellen) Blockveranstaltung bestehen: dem Hackathon. DasHackathon-Format verstehen wir dabei im weiteren Sinne, also keineswegs allein auf die Arbeit mit Programmcode (das›Hacken‹) beschränkt (wobei das auch eine Rolle spielen kann: besuchen Sie z.B. gern begleitend die ›Einführung in diedigitale Literaturwissenschaft‹). Vielmehr verstehen wir den Hackathon als ein offenes und schöpferisches Bildungs- undVeranstaltungsformat, in dem wir in Teams, also kollaborativ, gemeinsame Fragen diskutieren, Lösungen entwickeln, Ideenverwirklichen. Unseren Hackathon werden wir im Seminar in zwei Phasen vorbereiten. In einer ersten Phase zu Beginn des Semesterswerden wir Ihnen Impulse zu Fragen, Zielstellungen, Daten, aber auch zu digitalen Arbeitstechniken geben. Was ist einHackathon? Wie nimmt man an einem Hackathon teil? Wie lässt sich das Hackathon-Format als ein kreatives Erkenntnis-Event gestalten? An diese erste, einführende Phase, in der wir mit Ihnen eine Idee vom Potenzial eines Hackathons entwickeln, schließt sichim Mai, eine zweite Phase an, in der wir in Teams zusammenfinden und gemeinsam kleine Projekte entwickeln, die wir inunseren Teams im Hackathon bearbeiten wollen: Sie möchten einen Wiki-Sprint zu Ihrer Lieblingsautor*in initiieren und denbisher so spärlichen Wikipedia-Artikel fundiert anreichern? Sie fragen sich schon seit Langem, wie man eigentlich literarischeKultur überzeugend auf Instagram repräsentieren kann – und wollen also ein kleines Social Media-Projekt starten? Sie wolltenimmer schon mal schauen, welche Quellen zur frühen Frauenbewegung es im Internet gibt – und wie man diesen Quellenmehr Präsenz verschaffen könnte? Sie haben schon seit langem Ideen, wie Wissen globaler oder außereuropäischer Kulturensinnvoll digital repräsentiert werden kann? Sie wollen digitale Wege erkunden um andere, kreative und inklusive Zugänge zuBildung zu ermöglichen?Sie hatten letztens bereits die Idee, dass es doch einmal reizvoll sein könnte, literarische Figuren aufTwitter zu inszenieren? Wenn Sie sich manchmal solche – oder auch all die mehr oder weniger ähnlichen – Fragen zur Datenkultur und zuKulturdaten stellen, dann kommen Sie zu uns ins Seminar. In unserem Hackathon wollen wir, mit Ihnen, an genau diesenFragen arbeiten. Das Seminar wird durchgeführt im Rahmen des BMBF-Projekts »Forschen | Lernen – Digital« (FoLD).

English Version

The rapid digitization of culture is creating data upon data. In archives, libraries, museums and other institutions, in additionto countless initiatives, such as NGOs a diverse array of actors is generating an ever richer world of cultural data. While thisraises new and pressing questions - about ownership, identity, access to name but a few- cultural data also opens novelways of creatively providing, processing, communicating, negotiating, and exploring culture itself. In a way, the rise of culturaldata gives way to new ”data cultures” that are emerging around scientific, artistic, creative, activist and entirely new digitalpractices. In this seminar we would like to explore ways of dealing with cultural data and contemporary data cultures from a cultural andliterary studies perspective. Our mission is an experiment that wants to unleash your creative energies: What did you alwayswant to do with cultural data - academically, scientifically, creatively, artistically? What is your vision concerning a future dataculture? What questions do you, as cultural and literary scholars, have in mind about the general datafication of our culture?What is the role of data culture from the perspective of global justice and the appropriation and/or publication of knowledge? The major part of this seminar will take place on a two-day (virtual) block event: the hackathon. We understand the conceptof hackathon in a broader sense, i.e. as by no means limited to working with program code (the 'hacking') alone (althoughthis may also play a role: feel free to attend the 'Introduction to Digital Literary Studies', for example). Rather, we plan thishackathon as an open and creative educational event, in which we discuss common questions, develop solutions, realizeideas in teams and collaboratively cook up engagement and hands-on intellectual products. We will prepare our seminar-hackathon in two phases. In a first phase at the beginning of the semester, we will provide briefimpulses on questions, objectives, data, but also on digital working techniques. What is a hackathon? How do you participatein a hackathon? How can the format of the hackathon be designed as a creative and insightful event? In this first, introductory phase, we want to explore the potentials of hackathons. During the second phase in May we gettogether in teams and develop small projects to work on during the hackathon: would you like to start a Wiki-Sprint aboutyour favorite author or expand insufficient Wikipedia articles? Have you been wondering about how we can represent literaryculture on Instagram - or do you want to start your own small social media-project? You've always wanted to see what sourceson the early women's movement exist on the Internet - and how to give those sources more publicity? Do you ask yourselfhow knowledge of global or non-European cultures can be meaningfully represented in the digital realm? Would you like toexplore digital pathways to an alternative, creative and inclusive access to education? Have you recently had the idea to re-enact literary characters on Twitter? If you are interested in questions like these; questions of data culture and cultural data join us in this experimental seminar/hackathon in which we want to work on these -or similar- questions together.

Kommentar

"Panafrican Cartographies: Regional Imaginations in Postcolonial African Literature"

This course is interested in the alternative imaginations of space, time and belonging Panafrican cultural actors (politicalleaders, intellectuals, writers, musicians) have produced in response to the official and conceptual boundaries inherited fromcolonialism, such as the divisions between Anglophone and Francophone, North and Sub-Saharan Africa. This line of inquiryresponds to the call by leading Africanist scholars like Mahmood Mamdani and Achille Mbembe, to rethink the very form

emancipatory political communities might take on the African continent and its diasporas.

The argument behind this critical orientation is that the conceptual framework in which the process of decolonisation has beenthought about thus far – by and large defined by the political map drawn at the Berlin Conference in 1884-85 and the modelof the modern nation-state – is deeply intertwined with the perpetuation of neocolonial political and economic asymmetriesand extreme forms of violence. African cultural production from the 1950s until contemporary times constitutes a particularlyproductive archive from which alternatives to this dominant cartography emerge.

T his course employs an inclusive conception of literature which allows for the consideration of visual artistic, written, audioand institutional practices. In addition to engaging with cartography as an object of analysis, students will also be introduced tomapmaking as a quintessentially interdisciplinary method that combines scientific and artistic ways of knowing.

Classes will take place online, with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous elements.The synchronous elements will take place during the announced dates on Friday, 10:15-11:45

Critical Pedagogy and Materials Development

Language teaching materials play a central role in the classroom as tools to promote skills, literacies, and competences.However, they are also cultural and curriculum artefacts (Gray, 2013), meaning they are reflections of the curriculum as wellas certain values, carrying with them traces of power relations and worldviews. Through a critical look on classroom materials,and by extension, classroom practices, language teachers can see what identities, power relations, and stereotypes areperpetuated, made invisible, or transformed. In this seminar, participants will explore how materials can be used to promotediversity, inclusivity and equality in the language classroom. The seminar will touch upon what critical pedagogy is, how itrelates to language teaching and the local teaching context, and the intersection between materials, classroom practices, andcritical pedagogy. Participants will have the opportunity to analyze, evaluate, adapt, develop materials within this framework,and use and reflect on them in micro-teaching scenarios.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.Genre learning is based on the idea that every kind of social interaction happens in the form of cultural genres or formsof communication: Whether it is a simple greeting or a complex argument, informal small talk or formal job interview, thisapproach assumes that interaction always follows linguistic, discursive and also social forms and rules and that learners needto acquire the genre knowledge and the skills to produce these genres in order to communicate and participate successfullyin social interaction. Students will study theoretical texts, analyse teaching material and develop their own methodologicalapproaches to help learners achieve their communicative goals by acquiring the knowledge and skills they need to produce,e.g., dialogues, interviews, speeches, letters, film reviews, stories, films and other forms of communication. Students will beasked to work in project groups and design a teaching proposal for teaching a genre of their choice.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.UNESCO (2012), KMK (2016) and a growing number of researchers in TEFL have put forward the concept of ‘education forsustainable development’, arguing that future generations require ”more integrative, problem-based and exploratory formsof learning” (UNESCO, 2012, p. 5) so as to tackle global issues such as climate change, ecological challenges, sustainableand responsible ways of living and saving the planet. In this seminar, we are going to engage with the question of how Englishlanguage teaching can enable future (global) citizens to grasp and deal with complex and interconnected issues throughEnglish language. We will explore literary texts, teaching materials, and design tasks so as to meet this challenge.

We will collaborate with a group of history teacher candidates at SUNY Cortland (N.Y.) and exchange views on teachingglobal issues such as US history in the EFL classroom. Students from Cortland will present their critical analyses of textbookmaterials and engage with us in discussions on how to develop our students' critical literacies – both in the history and theEFL classroom.

The student conference will be used as a starting point for our critical reflections on how to teach global issues in the EFLclassroom as part of education for sustainable development and how to (re-)design teaching materials in order to support ourlearners’ critical literacy.

Please note: Participation in the student conference on April 23, 7-9 p.m . is obligatory for the successful participation inthis course.

Teaching Culture and History in the EFL classroom

This seminar will deal with relevant issues in teaching culture and history in the EFL classroom. Language teachers canbe seen as cultural mediators who support their learners’ cultural competences, who enable them to communicate acrosscultures and who develop their learners’ competences to engage and participate in cultural discourses.

We will collaborate with a group of history teacher candidates at SUNY Cortland (N.Y.) and exchange views on teachingrelevant topics of US history in the EFL classroom. Students from Cortland will present their critical analyses of textbookmaterials and engage with us in discussions on how to develop adolescents’ critical literacies – both in the history and the EFLclassroom.

The student conference will be used as a starting point for our critical reflections on how to teach culture and history in the EFLclassroom and how teaching materials need to be (re-)designed in order to support our learners’ critical literacy.

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.Technological developments of the last thirty years have strongly influenced our everyday lives, including the way we thinkand communicate. What are the possible implications of these changes for the EFL classroom, and how do they affect theway we teach speaking skills? What are the advantages of digital media, and how can we use them in a meaningful wayto promote speaking skills among EFL learners? How has the institutional context been addressing the consequences ofdigitalisation through languages policies and curricula? Finally, what are the challenges that both teachers and their studentsneed to face when using new media in the classroom? In order to answer these questions, we will explore some aspectsof media pedagogy and take a look at the research carried out within the framework of TEFL. We will examine innovativeteaching designs, which meaningfully integrate modern technologies to promote speaking skills. We will develop and evaluateour own digital media-assisted teaching scenarios to promote speaking skills. Finally, we will address the institutional contextand recent educational debates, which bring to light not only the advantages and opportunities, but also the risks anddifficulties of integrating digital media into the 21st-century education.

The course is designed to strengthen your academic writing in English. To this end we will deal with the components of essaywriting: the design of the introductory, main body, and concluding paragraphs as well as the conventions of MLA 8. Naturally,we hope the course will also deepen your knowledge of English. At advanced levels, language can only be deepened by usingit to do challenging tasks - and few tasks are more challenging than writing good argument.The number of participants in this course is limited to 20 students.FORMAT: The course will be conducted synchronously with some asynchronic elements. Whenever we meet on Zoom, it willbe in the originally announced time slot.

Kommentar

Improving your expression in and knowledge of English through intensive comparison and contrast with German: that is themain purpose of this course. Translation is a powerful tool for improving your proficiency because it uses your native language- your semantic bedrock that all your explorations in the second language build up from. Alan Duff: `Translation developsthree qualities essential to all language learning: flexibility, accuracy, and clarity. It trains the learner to search (flexibility)for the most appropriate words (accuracy) to convey what is meant (clarity).` You learn to think from words and structuresto meanings - translation sensitizes you to the nuances of style and meaning better than anything other language learningactivity. By contrasting the meanings of words and syntax, you can move away from literal (whatever that means!) translationsto meaning (whatever that is!). When you think about it, any real interaction with an author or a person speaking involves actsof translation - the deeper the engagement, the more challenging and fruitful the translation.The number of participants in this course is limited to 20 students.FORMAT: The course will be conducted synchronously with some asynchronic elements. Whenever we meet on Zoom, it willbe in the originally announced time slot.

The seminar will take place in a synchronic online format in the form of zoom meetings on Thursdays, 10:15-11:45 am.

This course deals with changes in the lexicon of the English language from its beginning up to the present day. We will startout with some general assumptions about the units in the lexicon of a language and how they are related to each other.Then we will discuss important mechanisms of lexical and semantic change with a special focus on lexical borrowing, wordformation and semantic change. In the following we will chronologically go through the history of English and, based onstudents‘ presentations, investigate selected topics related to the changes in the English lexicon. Such topics may be relatedto: the structure of the Old / Middle / Early Modern English lexicon; the Celtic, Latin, Scandinavian, French influence on theEnglish lexicon; Word formation patterns in Old-, Middle, Early Modern English; Semantic change; the enrichment of theEnglish vocabulary due to the colonial expansion; the increasing productivity of zero derivation and other types of wordformation in Modern English; changes in the English lexicon due to the new media; the use of corpora in the study of EnglishHistorical Lexicology. The precise topics will be fixed and distributed in the first session. At the end of the semester studentsshall have acquired an understanding of certain mechanisms of lexical-semantic change in the history of English and shall beable to construe a hypothetical linguistic project of their own in the field of English Historical Lexicology.

While mobile platforms have the potential to increase our communication possibilities, little is still knownabout how conversational practices are adapted to these new forms. Recent studies stemming from a conversation-analyticapproach to the study of mediatized communication referred to as ‘digital conversation analysis’ (Giles et al., 2015), haveshown striking similarities and differences at various conversational aspects between text, instant, and chat messagingwritten interactions and spoken conversations. This advanced course draws on these recent studies and provides an initialexploration of how human interaction takes place via smartphone-based messaging applications (e.g. WhatsApp). Throughthe methodological apparatus of Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics, we will unpack the “grammar-in-action” ofreal-world conversations in these media. Particular attention will be given to text-based interactions with multilingual speakersand in pedagogically-related environments.

87013 S - Theories of Language Change

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.The English language has changed dramatically over the past six to seven hundred years. Throughout history, people noticedthat language, like everything else, is in a continuous state of change. Thus, from its beginning, linguistics has been looking atlanguage change. In this class we will therefore look at the various theories, which have been proposed to explain languagechange. We will also discuss language-external (e.g. language contact) and language-internal (e.g., structural instability)motivations for language change and look at spe-cific manifestations of language change at all levels of linguistic description,i.e., phonological, grammatical, semantic and pragmatic changes. At the end of term, we will hopefully be equipped with thenecessary knowledge to sensibly discuss the question put forward by Jean Aitchison (2001), as to whether language changeis to be seen as progress or as decay.

Instead of comparing a largenumber of languages with respect to a small subsystem or a single variant property (word order, case marking, passiveconstruction, etc.), only two languages are compared with respect to a wide variety of properties.” (König & Gast 2012: 3)The aim of this course is to thoroughly compare the two genetically related languages English and German. By contrastingthese languages, we will get a better understanding of each of them individually, discover useful implications for languageteaching, the study of bilingualism as well translation practices, and we will also find out about the nature of the changesthat have ultimately led to the separation of English and German within 1,500 years. We will not focus on similarities buton major differences by comparing grammatical structures. We will look at many different aspects of language, such asphonology, morphology, tense and aspect, modality and word order. In order to successfully follow and complete the course itis necessary that you have taken and passed the module introduction to linguistics.

Critical Pedagogy and Materials Development

Language teaching materials play a central role in the classroom as tools to promote skills, literacies, and competences.However, they are also cultural and curriculum artefacts (Gray, 2013), meaning they are reflections of the curriculum as wellas certain values, carrying with them traces of power relations and worldviews. Through a critical look on classroom materials,and by extension, classroom practices, language teachers can see what identities, power relations, and stereotypes areperpetuated, made invisible, or transformed. In this seminar, participants will explore how materials can be used to promotediversity, inclusivity and equality in the language classroom. The seminar will touch upon what critical pedagogy is, how itrelates to language teaching and the local teaching context, and the intersection between materials, classroom practices, andcritical pedagogy. Participants will have the opportunity to analyze, evaluate, adapt, develop materials within this framework,and use and reflect on them in micro-teaching scenarios.

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.Genre learning is based on the idea that every kind of social interaction happens in the form of cultural genres or formsof communication: Whether it is a simple greeting or a complex argument, informal small talk or formal job interview, thisapproach assumes that interaction always follows linguistic, discursive and also social forms and rules and that learners needto acquire the genre knowledge and the skills to produce these genres in order to communicate and participate successfullyin social interaction. Students will study theoretical texts, analyse teaching material and develop their own methodologicalapproaches to help learners achieve their communicative goals by acquiring the knowledge and skills they need to produce,e.g., dialogues, interviews, speeches, letters, film reviews, stories, films and other forms of communication. Students will beasked to work in project groups and design a teaching proposal for teaching a genre of their choice.

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.UNESCO (2012), KMK (2016) and a growing number of researchers in TEFL have put forward the concept of ‘education forsustainable development’, arguing that future generations require ”more integrative, problem-based and exploratory formsof learning” (UNESCO, 2012, p. 5) so as to tackle global issues such as climate change, ecological challenges, sustainableand responsible ways of living and saving the planet. In this seminar, we are going to engage with the question of how Englishlanguage teaching can enable future (global) citizens to grasp and deal with complex and interconnected issues throughEnglish language. We will explore literary texts, teaching materials, and design tasks so as to meet this challenge.

We will collaborate with a group of history teacher candidates at SUNY Cortland (N.Y.) and exchange views on teachingglobal issues such as US history in the EFL classroom. Students from Cortland will present their critical analyses of textbookmaterials and engage with us in discussions on how to develop our students' critical literacies – both in the history and theEFL classroom.

The student conference will be used as a starting point for our critical reflections on how to teach global issues in the EFLclassroom as part of education for sustainable development and how to (re-)design teaching materials in order to support ourlearners’ critical literacy.

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.Technological developments of the last thirty years have strongly influenced our everyday lives, including the way we thinkand communicate. What are the possible implications of these changes for the EFL classroom, and how do they affect theway we teach speaking skills? What are the advantages of digital media, and how can we use them in a meaningful wayto promote speaking skills among EFL learners? How has the institutional context been addressing the consequences ofdigitalisation through languages policies and curricula? Finally, what are the challenges that both teachers and their studentsneed to face when using new media in the classroom? In order to answer these questions, we will explore some aspectsof media pedagogy and take a look at the research carried out within the framework of TEFL. We will examine innovativeteaching designs, which meaningfully integrate modern technologies to promote speaking skills. We will develop and evaluateour own digital media-assisted teaching scenarios to promote speaking skills. Finally, we will address the institutional contextand recent educational debates, which bring to light not only the advantages and opportunities, but also the risks anddifficulties of integrating digital media into the 21st-century education.

Kommentar

Travel writing is a specific literary genre with a long history back to antiquity. Travel has been undertaken for political, religious,educational and commercial, but lately also for leisure reasons. A common travel proverb says: ‘The world is a book, andthose who do not travel, read only a page.’ This alludes to the textuality of `the world` that needs reading/deciphering. And itleads us the awareness that travel links to aspects of status, means and privilege, to knowledge and authority.In this context, the course will focus on relationships between power and knowledge, the authority of eyewitness and thediscursive situatedness of the traveller/reader in travel writing and will contemplate them as part of (gendered) representationsof the British Empire since the 18th century.This course will be a hybrid online seminar with synchronous and asynchronous phases.

Kommentar

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading.The state-of-the-nation novel is a name given to a specifically British type of political prose narrative, modelled on a certainstrand of Victorian novels – most notably, works by Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell and Anthony Trollope – and generallyfeaturing a complex constellation of various characters in an urban setting, typically conveying a modern sense of alienationand moral confusion. While one might dismiss this traditional approach to probing into the structure of feeling of a nation ata specific time (including its political elites and the larger society) as somewhat dated and overcome, the state-of-the-nationnovel has had a recent revival with the so-called Brexit Fiction associated with writers like Jonathan Coe, Anthony Cartwright,Ali Smith and Amanda Craig. This course will look at the state-of-the-nation novel in various historical contexts, paying specialattention to its most recent figuration after the Brexit referendum. A general question will be how this national approach toliterature writing can nonetheless be understood as a kind of world literature engaging with the effects of globalisation.

T he earth, the planet, the globe: does it matter what name we give to the world (already a fourth term!) we inhabit? Overthe past twenty years or so, the awareness of living for better or worse in a globally interconnected world has intensifiedand become ubiquitous. Yet while globalization around the turn of the millennium seemed to promise the emergence ofa borderless world-wide cosmopolis, today’s geopolitics is busy erecting new walls and militarizing old borders acrossthe fault lines of poverty, race, citizenship and religion. The only phenomena that are still global seem to be transnationalfinance capital and the universal risks of climate change, melting pole caps, large-scale deforestation, rising sea levels andpandemics. Bleak prospects indeed that call for rigorous critique that may, hopefully, generate some alternate perspectives. Inour seminar we will read and discuss a number of critical and creative, theoretical and artistic interventions that contribute tothe ongoing construction of ‘the world’ – as planet, as globe, as earth, as …

Das Seminar ist als erste Annäherung an die Digitale Literaturwissenschaftangelegt. Es führt ein in: a) grundlegende theoretische Aspekte der Arbeit mit digitalen, insbesondere quantitativen Methodenin der Literaturwissenschaft b) in die praktische Anwendung von digitalen, insbesondere quantitativen Methoden aufliterarische Texte in deutscher und englischer Sprache c) in Techniken des digitalen, projekt- und teambasierten Arbeitensin interdisziplinären Teams. Dabei erarbeitet das Seminar d) auch Grundlagen für eine kritische Diskussion der Potenzialeund Grenzen digitaler Forschungsmethoden der Literaturwissenschaft. Im Rahmen des Seminars sollen dabei grundlegendeKompetenzen aus dem Feld der Digital Literacy für Literaturwissenschaftler*innen vermittelt, reflektiert und diskutiert werden.Das Seminar setzt zwangsläufig eine gewisse Affinität zur Arbeit mit Computern voraus. Dringend empfohlen wird diebegleitende Teilnahme am praxisorientierten Seminar »Kulturdaten – Datenkulturen«, das sich der Erprobung und dervertieften Anwendung der im Seminar »Einführung in die digitale Literaturwissenschaft« thematisierten Methoden widmet.Das Seminar wird durchgeführt im Rahmen des BMBF-Projekts »Forschen | Lernen – Digital« (FoLD) English version: ‘Digitalliterary studies’ can be understood as a rather generic term for a number of research questions and techniques of analysisthat either focus on the transformation of its subject through the processes and means of digitization (e.g. digital literature:hypertext, blogs, algorithmic texts) or employ their own digital methods of research, development and exploration (e.g.stylometrics, topic modelling, network analysis). In this seminar we will concentrate on the second strand –the methodologicaldimension of Digital Literary Studies– and will work to gain an overview of the field of the Digital Humanities. The seminar isdesigned as a first approach to digital literary studies. It introduces: a) fundamental theoretical aspects of working with digital–especially quantitative– methods in literary studies b) the practical application of digital, especially quantitative methods toliterary texts in German and English c) techniques of digital, project-based work in interdisciplinary teams. In this context, theseminar will d) also develop the foundations for a critical discussion of the potentials and limits of digital research methods inliterary studies. Thereby, the seminar will teach, reflect and discuss basic competences in the field of digital literacy for literaryscholars. The seminar inevitably requires a certain affinity for working with computers. It is strongly recommended to attendthe adjacent seminar: "Kulturdaten – Datenkulturen. Ein literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Hackathon", which is dedicatedto the testing and in-depth application of the methods discussed in the seminar "Introduction to Digital Literary Studies". Thisseminar is part of the BMBF project ”Forschen | Lernen Digital” (FoLD) Please note: As this seminar is a cooperation with theDepartment of German Studies Prof. Dr. Peer Trilcke (Germanistik). Teaching language will be German.

Die rasant fortschreitende Digitalisierung unserer Kultur schafft Daten über Daten über Daten: Archive, Bibliotheken, Museenund andere Einrichtungen, dazu unzählige Initiativen, NGOs, Einzelpersonen erzeugen eine immer reichere Kulturdatenwelt.Während sich damit auf der einen Seite neue und drängende Fragen – etwa zu Eigentum, Identität, Zugang – stellen,bergen diese Kulturdaten auch die Möglichkeit für neue Wege der kreativen und innovativen Bereitstellung, Verarbeitung,Vermittlung, Verhandlung und Erforschung von Kultur. Um all die neuen digitalen Kulturdaten herum entstehen eben auchneue Datenkulturen: wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, kreative, aktivistische und viele mehr. In diesem Seminar möchten wir mit Ihnen gemeinsam – aus einer kultur- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive heraus –nach Wegen des Umgangs mit Kulturdaten und nach zeitgenössischen Datenkulturen fragen. Das Ganze ist ein Experiment,das Ihre kreativen Energien freisetzen will: Was wollten Sie – wissenschaftlich-kreativ, gestalterisch-forschend, künstlerisch-analysierend – schon immer mal mit Kulturdaten machen? Was sind Ihre Ideen von einer zukünftigen Datenkultur? WelcheFragen haben Sie, als Kultur- und Literaturwissenschaftler*innen, angesichts der allgemeinen Datafizierung unserer Kultur?Welche Rolle spielt Datenkultur in der Perspektive globaler Gerechtigkeit und der Aneignung und Herausgabe von Wissen? Das Seminar wird im Schwerpunkt aus einer zweitägigen (virtuellen) Blockveranstaltung bestehen: dem Hackathon. DasHackathon-Format verstehen wir dabei im weiteren Sinne, also keineswegs allein auf die Arbeit mit Programmcode (das›Hacken‹) beschränkt (wobei das auch eine Rolle spielen kann: besuchen Sie z.B. gern begleitend die ›Einführung in diedigitale Literaturwissenschaft‹). Vielmehr verstehen wir den Hackathon als ein offenes und schöpferisches Bildungs- undVeranstaltungsformat, in dem wir in Teams, also kollaborativ, gemeinsame Fragen diskutieren, Lösungen entwickeln, Ideenverwirklichen. Unseren Hackathon werden wir im Seminar in zwei Phasen vorbereiten. In einer ersten Phase zu Beginn des Semesterswerden wir Ihnen Impulse zu Fragen, Zielstellungen, Daten, aber auch zu digitalen Arbeitstechniken geben. Was ist einHackathon? Wie nimmt man an einem Hackathon teil? Wie lässt sich das Hackathon-Format als ein kreatives Erkenntnis-Event gestalten? An diese erste, einführende Phase, in der wir mit Ihnen eine Idee vom Potenzial eines Hackathons entwickeln, schließt sichim Mai, eine zweite Phase an, in der wir in Teams zusammenfinden und gemeinsam kleine Projekte entwickeln, die wir inunseren Teams im Hackathon bearbeiten wollen: Sie möchten einen Wiki-Sprint zu Ihrer Lieblingsautor*in initiieren und denbisher so spärlichen Wikipedia-Artikel fundiert anreichern? Sie fragen sich schon seit Langem, wie man eigentlich literarischeKultur überzeugend auf Instagram repräsentieren kann – und wollen also ein kleines Social Media-Projekt starten? Sie wolltenimmer schon mal schauen, welche Quellen zur frühen Frauenbewegung es im Internet gibt – und wie man diesen Quellenmehr Präsenz verschaffen könnte? Sie haben schon seit langem Ideen, wie Wissen globaler oder außereuropäischer Kulturensinnvoll digital repräsentiert werden kann? Sie wollen digitale Wege erkunden um andere, kreative und inklusive Zugänge zuBildung zu ermöglichen?Sie hatten letztens bereits die Idee, dass es doch einmal reizvoll sein könnte, literarische Figuren aufTwitter zu inszenieren? Wenn Sie sich manchmal solche – oder auch all die mehr oder weniger ähnlichen – Fragen zur Datenkultur und zuKulturdaten stellen, dann kommen Sie zu uns ins Seminar. In unserem Hackathon wollen wir, mit Ihnen, an genau diesenFragen arbeiten. Das Seminar wird durchgeführt im Rahmen des BMBF-Projekts »Forschen | Lernen – Digital« (FoLD).

English Version

The rapid digitization of culture is creating data upon data. In archives, libraries, museums and other institutions, in additionto countless initiatives, such as NGOs a diverse array of actors is generating an ever richer world of cultural data. While thisraises new and pressing questions - about ownership, identity, access to name but a few- cultural data also opens novelways of creatively providing, processing, communicating, negotiating, and exploring culture itself. In a way, the rise of culturaldata gives way to new ”data cultures” that are emerging around scientific, artistic, creative, activist and entirely new digitalpractices. In this seminar we would like to explore ways of dealing with cultural data and contemporary data cultures from a cultural andliterary studies perspective. Our mission is an experiment that wants to unleash your creative energies: What did you alwayswant to do with cultural data - academically, scientifically, creatively, artistically? What is your vision concerning a future dataculture? What questions do you, as cultural and literary scholars, have in mind about the general datafication of our culture?What is the role of data culture from the perspective of global justice and the appropriation and/or publication of knowledge? The major part of this seminar will take place on a two-day (virtual) block event: the hackathon. We understand the conceptof hackathon in a broader sense, i.e. as by no means limited to working with program code (the 'hacking') alone (althoughthis may also play a role: feel free to attend the 'Introduction to Digital Literary Studies', for example). Rather, we plan thishackathon as an open and creative educational event, in which we discuss common questions, develop solutions, realizeideas in teams and collaboratively cook up engagement and hands-on intellectual products. We will prepare our seminar-hackathon in two phases. In a first phase at the beginning of the semester, we will provide briefimpulses on questions, objectives, data, but also on digital working techniques. What is a hackathon? How do you participatein a hackathon? How can the format of the hackathon be designed as a creative and insightful event? In this first, introductory phase, we want to explore the potentials of hackathons. During the second phase in May we gettogether in teams and develop small projects to work on during the hackathon: would you like to start a Wiki-Sprint aboutyour favorite author or expand insufficient Wikipedia articles? Have you been wondering about how we can represent literaryculture on Instagram - or do you want to start your own small social media-project? You've always wanted to see what sourceson the early women's movement exist on the Internet - and how to give those sources more publicity? Do you ask yourselfhow knowledge of global or non-European cultures can be meaningfully represented in the digital realm? Would you like toexplore digital pathways to an alternative, creative and inclusive access to education? Have you recently had the idea to re-enact literary characters on Twitter? If you are interested in questions like these; questions of data culture and cultural data join us in this experimental seminar/hackathon in which we want to work on these -or similar- questions together.

Kommentar

"Panafrican Cartographies: Regional Imaginations in Postcolonial African Literature"

This course is interested in the alternative imaginations of space, time and belonging Panafrican cultural actors (politicalleaders, intellectuals, writers, musicians) have produced in response to the official and conceptual boundaries inherited fromcolonialism, such as the divisions between Anglophone and Francophone, North and Sub-Saharan Africa. This line of inquiryresponds to the call by leading Africanist scholars like Mahmood Mamdani and Achille Mbembe, to rethink the very form

emancipatory political communities might take on the African continent and its diasporas.

The argument behind this critical orientation is that the conceptual framework in which the process of decolonisation has beenthought about thus far – by and large defined by the political map drawn at the Berlin Conference in 1884-85 and the modelof the modern nation-state – is deeply intertwined with the perpetuation of neocolonial political and economic asymmetriesand extreme forms of violence. African cultural production from the 1950s until contemporary times constitutes a particularlyproductive archive from which alternatives to this dominant cartography emerge.

T his course employs an inclusive conception of literature which allows for the consideration of visual artistic, written, audioand institutional practices. In addition to engaging with cartography as an object of analysis, students will also be introduced tomapmaking as a quintessentially interdisciplinary method that combines scientific and artistic ways of knowing.

Classes will take place online, with a combination of synchronous and asynchronous elements.The synchronous elements will take place during the announced dates on Friday, 10:15-11:45

Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements andgrading. How does contemporary music sound art challenge us to listen differently? How does it make us rethink musicalconventions and habits of listening? Is there a potential for resistance and social critique in sound, and how is it manifested?This course deals with a range of contemporary musical productions and sonic artworks to address current questions of sonicagency, sociality and world-making in postcolonial Europe. We will read postcolonial & decolonial theories on music andsound art and we will also engage with practice-based sonic research methods. The seminar will be held online with a mixedformat of synchronous and asynchronous elements.

Die folgenden Begriffserklärungen zu Prüfungsleistung, Prüfungsnebenleistung und Studienleistung gelten im Bezug aufLehrveranstaltungen für alle Ordnungen, die seit dem WiSe 2013/14 in Kranft getreten sind.

Prüfungsleistung Prüfungsleistungen sind benotete Leistungen innerhalb eines Moduls. Aus der Benotungder Prüfungsleistung(en) bildet sich die Modulnote, die in die Gesamtnote des Studiengangseingeht. Handelt es sich um eine unbenotete Prüfungsleistung, so muss dieses ausdrücklich(„unbenotet“) in der Modulbeschreibung der fachspezifischen Ordnung geregelt sein. WeitereInformationen, auch zu den Anmeldemöglichkeiten von Prüfungsleistungen, finden Sie unteranderem in der Kommentierung der BaMa-O

Prüfungsnebenleistung Prüfungsnebenleistungen sind für den Abschluss eines Moduls relevante Leistungen, die– soweit sie vorgesehen sind – in der Modulbeschreibung der fachspezifischen Ordnungbeschrieben sind. Prüfungsnebenleistungen sind immer unbenotet und werden lediglichmit "bestanden" bzw. "nicht bestanden" bewertet. Die Modulbeschreibung regelt, obdie Prüfungsnebenleistung eine Teilnahmevoraussetzung für eine Modulprüfung odereine Abschlussvoraussetzung für ein ganzes Modul ist. Als Teilnahmevoraussetzungfür eine Modulprüfung muss die Prüfungsnebenleistung erfolgreich vor der Anmeldungbzw. Teilnahme an der Modulprüfung erbracht worden sein. Auch für Erbringung einerPrüfungsnebenleistungen wird eine Anmeldung vorausgesetzt. Diese fällt immer mitder Belegung der Lehrveranstaltung zusammen, da Prüfungsnebenleistung im Rahmeneiner Lehrveranstaltungen absolviert werden. Sieht also Ihre fachspezifische OrdnungPrüfungsnebenleistungen bei Lehrveranstaltungen vor, sind diese Lehrveranstaltungenzwingend zu belegen, um die Prüfungsnebenleistung absolvieren zu können.

Studienleistung Als Studienleistung werden Leistungen bezeichnet, die weder Prüfungsleistungen nochPrüfungsnebenleistungen sind.
