fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

there are 40 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display

Course objectives

The aim of JAM03 course is: -to raise students‘ awareness of modern trends and practices among members of specific discourse communities (introducing language in the context of typical genres, practising those genres) -to practise and extend academic vocabulary and basic specialized vocabulary in biological context (e.g.: academic CV and cover letter for field-related jobs, job interview, the calculus, the history of maths symbols, the prisoner´s dilemma, graph theory, Euler circuit and path, Kurt Godel and mathematical logic, etc.) -to practise language skills and functions typical for natural sciences (e.g. process description, cause-effect, argumentation: persuasive/balanced, analysing: comparing/contrasting, evaluating, etc.) which the students will be able to apply to a narrower/more specific context of their specializations (transferrable skills) -to practise academic skills, e.g.: formal writing/note-taking from a lecture, identifying and formulating main ideas, identifying specific information, interpretation of information, text summary, taking part in discussions, speaking in public about biology-related topics, politeness markers in negative answers/giving negative feedback -to practise B2 grammar in academic or specialized context

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to: better understand an authentic global problem from the angle of their specialization and at the same time communicate it with other specialists in their team better understand interdisciplinary relationships formulate their key skills and motivation for the work in a research team (CV, letter of application for an internship, mock interview) think critically use English as a tool of communication, use functional academic language, specific language of the subject communicate their results effectively by making their presentations understandable

Syllabus

• PI - sixty symbols, grammar revision Why work, History of maths symbols, notation revision Writing a CV, The Problem of the Seven Bridges of Konigsberg Cover letter, Calculus, Irregular plural nouns Job interview, Squaring the Circle, Trisecting an angle Leaving and losing the job, The Prisoner´s dilemma Mock job interview, Log tables Continuous functions, Grammar revision Greatest equations, What is a summary Jumbled summary, Paraphrasing Paraphrasing, Proof strategies, Presenting an argument Presenting an argument II, Overbooking, Types of distribution Revision and exam practice
