What and for whom are the InRegioFIT workshops?
The workshops take a closer look at typical study situations and practise speaking in these situations. This includes, for example, preparing for exams, oral exams or writing theses, but also organising your own everyday life as a student, dealing with AI correctly and writing applications and conducting job interviews.
The workshops are primarily aimed at international students and doctoral candidates at Paderborn University, exchange students from partner universities and German learners on DSH courses
What do we do there?
Input from the workshop leaders and concrete examples will provide orientation knowledge on the various topics. In individual, pair and group exercises, you will develop strategies for a successful transition to university/work, focussing on appropriate language use in various situations. At the same time, you will learn to correctly assess your own strengths and weaknesses and to further develop your (language) skills in a targeted manner.
The following questions, among others, will be answered in the various workshops:
- How can I effectively integrate AI into my language work at university?
- How do I write polite emails to lecturers in order to receive targeted support?
- Which methods help me to avoid writer's block?
- How can I prepare well (linguistically and subject-wise) for written and oral exams?
- Can I be understood well? What can I do to make myself easier to understand?
- How do I check my term paper for comprehensibility, structure and linguistic correctness?
- How can I deal with exam anxiety?
- How do I recognise what is expected of me in a call for proposals? How do I write a suitable application?
