Design and objectives of the course
In this self-study course, students familiarise themselves with digital ESP-material and AI-based writing tools. Following the instructions in an accompanying OLAT-course, they document their independent work and reflect on their experiences with these materials.
Component A (50%): In this component, the students work individually with tools designed for ESP learning. The software (Business English or Technical English) is available in the self-study centre for languages (Selbstlernzentrum/SLZ). The students document their work with the programme they choose in an OLAT-portfolio (advantages, challenges, limitations, disadvantages) and take the digital test of the tool (C1+ level).
Component B (50%): AI-based writing tools such as ChatGPT and the DeepL translator are an integral part of the workspace across various professional fields. In this component, the students critically engage with such tools, working in groups of 3-4. Following the instructions/tasks in the accompanying OLAT-course, they document their work, reflect on and discuss their experience with these tools with their group members and review the output of the AI-tool in an OLAT-portfolio.
We will meet in an in-person session in the first or second week of the semester to introduce this course (dates will be announced). |
