Beschreibung

The Language Lunch series is a fun and time-saving opportunity to improve your English-language competence over a light buffet lunch which will be provided free of charge. In the summer semester, the series continues with three workshops: (1) English Grammar for People Who Hate Grammar, (2) Concise and Clear: Using AI for Informative Texts, and (3) Chairing and Participating Effectively in Meetings and Discussions.  You are welcome to book one, two or all three workshops, but in any case please make sure that you register separately for each Language Lunch.

Content

"Grammar" usually turns people off. It's considered difficult, unnecessary and above all boring. At the same time, most people also realise that mastering grammar helps one to communicate effectively. In this workshop, we will take a fresh look at English grammar, concentrating on its role in helping speakers and writers get their messages across. Using a variety of English texts we will focus on:

  • Grammar and clarity
  • Grammar and the flow of ideas
  • Grammar and persuasion

Thus, the question at the heart of the workshop is not what is correct and what isn't, but how grammar comes to life.
