Aims of this workshop:
- To develop a clear-cut and confident small-talk style at academic occasions, including, but not limited to, a profound understanding of small talk topics, possible communication styles, politeness in an intercultural context as well as issues and topics to be avoided.
- To overcome the fear of talking (in english), particularly about issues you feel insecure talking about.
Methods:
This workshop offers an interactive training of a wide range of small talk topics, forms of politeness, addressing and treating people of various backgrounds, including elements of intercultural competence. The trainer uses different methods: memory techniques, vocabulary exercises, role plays, discussions, and different media to support long-term memory of learned phrases and vocabulary.
