Die Unterrichtseinheit unterstützt Lehrkräfte dabei, die Schreibkompetenz ihrer Schülerinnen und Schüler im fortgeschrittenen Englischunterricht zu optimieren. Schrittweise werden die Lernenden angeleitet, die spezifischen Merkmale der Textsorten „Speech“ und „Comment“ im Kontext „Globalisation and international relations“ anzuwenden. Ein abschließender Test ermöglicht es den Lehrkräften, den Lernfortschritt der Lerngruppe zu ermitteln.

Competences and skills:

The central purpose of this unit is to help students develop their writing skills. To this end, students work with authentic written and audio texts, extract relevant content and analyse it (reading comprehension and listening competences). These skills are the basis for optimising their writing competence. They also practise linguistic and formal conventions applicable to particular text types. Students train to report about events on various topics centring on globalisation, explain points of view in a differentiated manner and comment on the opinions of others. In addition to address specific target groups, learners practise clear and precise argumentation as well as coherence of content and language. They expand their expertise in the area of globalisation and international relations, which also benefits them across the curriculum.
