Purpose of this course is NOT the acquisition of basic knowledge relating to the 7 topics listed under Contents BUT the revision and consolidation of knowledge previously acquired and already existant.
Therefore, participants are expected to either acquire knowledge not yet existant or brush up previous, although unlearnt, knowledge BEFORE the start of this course on their Octoberinitiative.
Target group: first-year and first-semester students
Participants will learn and practise the subject matter given under "Contents" by doing exercises they will get by email and whose solutions - by e-mail, too - will be returned either corrected individually or in the form of an answer key.

6. If / conditional clauses (3 types, active AND passive voice),

Practice material relating to the above 7 topics is available in my grammar folder on the e-learning-platform ILIAS.
"FB 06 ..." > "English" > "Görke" > "English Grammar"
As topics 1 through 6 are all about the correct usage of verbs (in all tenses and forms) the command of the irregular English verbs and verb forms (including past tense and past perfect / correct spelling) is indispensable for the successful participation in this course AND the end-of-term exam (Modulprüfung Fremdsprachliche Kompetenz).

Additional information:
Important advice:
1.
Students are stronly advised to take and complete the course "Grammatik" (as well as the other components of the module "Fremdsprachliche Kompetenz") early on in their studies.
2.
In the written end-of-term exam klausur in our last meeting (Thursday, 11 February, 2021) students will be tested on ALL 7 topics of the English grammar listed under "Contents".
Important advice on (later) applications for an exchange place at one of our partner universities in GB and IRL (start: late Nov./early Dec., 2020)
When we select applicants / nominees for exchange places in GB und IRL we pay particular attention to, among others, the two following important criteria:
1.
their marks (even if course instructors can enter "pass" or "fail" only in Jogustine)
2.
at which stage of their studies applicants have completed the modules Fremdsprachliche Kompetenz AND Translatorische Kompetenz.
In other words:
We pay particular attention to the question with how much systematic determination the applicants have pursued their studies up to the point of their application.
