English Conversation / Discussion training (B2)
This course concentrates solely on discussion training. It is aimed at students
who want to learn how to effectively express their ideas and opinions,
set them against those of others, and generally hone their skills in spontaneous
speech. The ability to discuss controversial subjects is becoming more
and more important in the business world, where being able to convince
others of one’s ideas, particularly at meetings, has become an important
key to success. Learning how to do so in English can give you a considerable
edge in our globalized economy. This course covers the phrases and discourse
markers needed to navigate your way through discussions, gives you
the necessary exercises to practise and master specific discussion situations,
and offers a range of highly-controversial, increasingly demanding discussion
subjects to apply your knowledge to. The subjects are not business-related,
so as to keep the course as interesting as possible.
Voraussetzungen: A very good command of spoken English and a certain degree of spontaneity
and proactiveness are prerequisite for this course. The course is rather
demanding, and if you have no problems reading this text without a dictionary,
it could be just the right thing for you.
