Lerninhalte (Abstract) English keeps our finger on the pulse of social change, it helps us to collaborate globally, and it supports our clients from marginalized groups. In a relaxed atmosphere, we’ll optimize our skills using video, audio and text from around the world. We'll compare social work experiences between continents, sometimes with guest lectures (professionals from the USA, the UK and Kosovo have already joined us). We’ll be given creative freedom to explore the social topics we love, and share them with an intimate, supportive class. We’ll collect personalized feedback, and collaborate on a unique vocabulary stash. We’ll be even more confident for English research, study weeks, and exchange semesters. We’ll put our language to work.
Leistungsnachweis(e) Two vocabulary quizzes (repeatable), oral presentation
