Inhalt In a relaxed atmosphere we practice and develop our English skills using authentic texts like videos, podcasts, articles and academic papers from English-speaking countries. We'll discuss key social work topics in those countries, and compare them with our experiences in Switzerland. Vocabulary is chosen from the texts by the students themselves, and practised with fun exercises. For the presentation series, students are given the freedom to explore a topic which interests them. Masters students must also undertake a longer analysis and personal response to a research article in the field of social work. The average level is B2-C1, but students from B1 to native speakers have enjoyed this class.
