Neuss+BAIM+II

This page is specifically for the Neuss BAIM Sprachen II group.
Here you'll find information and activities related to your course Please feel free to add comments, ideas, information and anything else that you feel might be of help to the group and our course. Please remember, however, that this is a "public" wiki and so your postings can be accessed by anyone!

Course calendar
On this page you will find a course calendar which you have been invited to to and which you can edit (I hope!) once you have signed in. Add you presentation date as an "event" to the calendar.

Course content meeting results
Here are the results of your course content meeting. The course will be structured around the core elements you have chosen plus the non-optional components: academic writing, exam preparation (including emailing) and a review of presentation language and skills.

The wiki-partners for this activity are as follows:

When your outlines are ready please contact your partner to ask them to comment on your page using the discussion tab. When they have done this answer any questions they may have and or reply to any comments they make, again using the discussion tab.

Going Under
Here you can download a worksheet based on a news article from the [|Guardian] newspaper in the UK. The subject is the recent spate of floods that have affected many countries and the measures governments have taken or should take to counteract the effects of global warming. Exercises 1 - 7 provide a range of activities on reading comprehension, vocabulary and some useful writing skills work on cross referencing when writing. An answer key is provided and you can of course start a discussion using the tab at the top of the page or add a word or phrase to the BEO Glossary.

 * Homework Michael Kloeters and Philippa Klaes

Re: your order number J891 We received your order this morning, but you haven`t filled in the sections on size and colour. Could you tell us what you need? These products are selling very well at the moment, and I´m sorry to tell you that the medium size is temporarily out of stock. But we are expecting more supplies soon. Shall I email to you when they arrive?


 * Academic writing Philippa Klaes and Maria Richter**

King has been the last name of many good blues guitarists, for example Freddie King, Albert King and B.B. King. Due to the fact that all successful bluesmen guitarists have been named King, the idea of he linkage between the name and the talent seems to be realistic.
