Aims and Objectives

The year-long Academic Writing module focusses on the skills required for writing an academic essay or paper: approaches to developing, organizing, researching and presenting ideas.

Part 1 (winter semester) covers the general basics of essay writing skills and structure, developing a critical approach and academic style, and will also analyse various techniques to improve essay writing, including appropriate language skills. There will be much emphasis on putting theory into practice and students will be expected to participate in writing exercises every week.

Learning Outcomes

During the module, students will learn:

  • to express themselves with clarity and precision in formal, academic English
  • to develop critical insight into literary analysis
  • to broaden their range of research skills
  • to take a critical approach to their own writing
Module Requirements

Over the course of the semester, students will be required to write a paper (approximately 2500 words) on the short story collection Dubliners by James Joyce. The basic requirements for the course are: the completion of the term paper and regular attendance in the course, including active participation in all writing assignments.

Please note that the entire module runs over two semesters: the second part is offered in the summer semester. Students must complete both parts to gain credits for the module.

The entire module (winter and summer semesters) is worth 15 credit points.

Language Requirements

The course will be held in English. Students must have an active command of sophisticated, near native-speaker language skills (C1 / C2).

Kompetente Sprachverwendung(hohes Sprachniveau bis fast muttersprachliche Sprachkompetenz) (C1 / C2).

Coronavirus restrictions

All my courses in the winter semester 1920/21 will be held in person in the classroom. Unfortunately, this means that I will have to restrict entry into some courses, due to the physical distancing required by the university. All course material will be available online, and it will also be possible to set up an online platform for students who are not able to attend the course in person.

The capacity for this course is currently 11
