In diesem Kursraum können die Studierenden des MAKSA - in sieben Schritten - ihre Projektskizze für Modul 10A vorbereiten. Dieser Kurs erklärt die Schritte in deutsch.
In this course, specific social phenomena and problems are analysed and addressed in selected practice-oriented teaching research projects in the areas of social inequality, disadvantage and/or diversity. The projects may relate to the analysis of structural and/or epistemological discrimination, the individual effects of social inequality situations and/or different forms of difference categories in society, organisations or institutions.
The work on the practice-oriented academic projects aims to develop action-oriented concepts of social interventions that are derived from analysed needs of social communities, socio-spatial actors and social movements.

This short workshop addresses the challenges midwifery students face when engaging with English-language academic literature. It offers a supportive space to identify and reflect on linguistic uncertainties while developing strategies for reading and discussing research in English. Through guided activities, participants will begin building a collaborative glossary of key scientific terms. In addition, the workshop encourages awareness of intercultural aspects of communication in midwifery, helping students approach diverse perspectives in a more informed and reflective way.

Module Aim:
This module aims to equip students with essential skills for effective professional communication in English. By the end of the course, students will be able to navigate typical international communication scenarios in their field, interacting confidently with both specialists and non-specialists. They will also be prepared to follow English-medium lectures and coursework in their 3rd and 4th semesters with greater ease.
In addition to enhancing subject-specific language proficiency, the module supports the development of transferable key skills such as presentation techniques, academic and professional writing, and effective verbal communication. Emphasis is placed on mastering domain-relevant vocabulary and terminology.
Students will develop the ability to comprehend complex texts, including technical discussions in their area of specialization. They will be able to use appropriate language structures and vocabulary, with a focus on subject-specific lexical fields. Furthermore, they will learn to interpret a variety of text types suitable to their language level and academic context, such as technical documents, research reports, academic articles, and simplified specialist texts.
Materials:
The course uses a range of authentic materials, including recent publications from scientific and technical journals, blog posts, vlogs, business reports, and government newsletters.
