On the first day of the workshop (7 class hours) you will analyze communication in academic contexts and discuss critical situations and intercultural differences.
During the e-learning phase (6 class hours) you will prepare simulations of consultation meetings with academics and administrators and talks or presentations on topics of your choice.
On the final day of the workshop (7 class hours) you will give a talk or a presentation, participate in an academic discussion on one of the topics presented and give others feedback on their own talks/presentations. You will simulate different types of consultation meetings and analyze and evaluate these simulations.
Both days of the workshop will start with a Zoom meeting with your instructor and consist of a combination of activities within Zoom and additional synchronous online tasks. The e-learning phase which leads to the second day of the workshop will be taken up by asynchronous online activities and tasks on ILIAS.
