- Thematik:
- Sustainability – a pressing issue that continues to shape our future. UNIcert students should become familiar with the debates and the language that surrounds them, as they might soon spearhead initiatives in their careers. By getting comprehensive insights, they can contribute meaningfully to the discourse and advocate for sustainable practices.
Students will be introduced to some of the relevant discourses on sustainability, related economic issues and their lines of argument. Their comprehension of newspaper articles includes finer details, such as the rhetorics used to create subtext. With some guidance they can understand academic texts. Exposed to (authentic) listening-/viewing- materials, they grasp even complex topics and discursive positions, in different varieties of English. When they participate in (staged) debates and panel discussions they know how to inhabit scripted roles and to express their discursive positions accordingly. In regards to written production, students will practice briefings, statements and argumentative essays from different (also: culturally different) perspectives. Progress is ensured through process writing. Vocabulary range and grammatical accuracy will increase.
