course contents
During the seminar, students present and analyze their experiences during their stay abroad. The aim is to bring the individual experiences into an academic context (Intercultural Discourse, Intercultural Awareness & Understanding, etc.) and to discuss them with fellow students and compare them with their experiences.
In order to achieve a stronger bond between the students and the FH Kufstein during their semester abroad, to strengthen the cohesion of the class and to promote an exchange of experiences among the students, this course will be held during the semester abroad with the help of eLearning methods.
The teaching content is a structured reflection of the similarities and contradictions of theoretical teaching knowledge and practical applications in order to achieve a critical capacity for reflection for the theory-practice friction surface in the sense of a synthesis of both for professional practice. Through group discussions structured by the lecturer (e.g. via forums and chats) the individual experiences are critically reflected together.
