course contents
The students are taught the fundamentals of social skills, speaking, reading, writing and presentation skills. They impart and present contents from business, politics, culture and history as well as intercultural contexts. Discussion skills and presentation of specific economic topics are the main focus.
After a short theoretical introduction to presentation techniques and rhetoric, case studies and exercises are used to familiarize students with oral and medial communication.
Particular attention is paid to the preparation of content (structure and outline) and the execution of presentations (preparation, targeted use of media).
Basic information about the basic components of communicative processes is conveyed. Message and meaning as well as content and relationship aspects of human communication should be simulated. The aim of the presentation techniques is to teach the students about the effective channels (language, voice, body, space) of presentation and to gain initial experience about their effective use in order to be able to present more functional presentations.
