The Linguistics section of the Freie Universit\u00e4t’s English program would like to congratulate you on being accepted into one of the top universities in the country and thank you for choosing us!<\/p>\n
Of course, we would like to welcome you in person to our beautiful campus in Berlin’s historic Dahlem district, but the global COVID-19 pandemic has made this impossible. Your first semester at university will take place entirely (or almost entirely) online \u2013 through video and audio conferences, blogs, forums, text chats and email.<\/p>\n
But don’t worry \u2013 we will make sure that your start into university life will be just as interesting, inspiring and personal as it would have been under different circumstances.<\/p>\n
In your first semester, you will take two modules \u2013 Introduction to English Linguistics<\/em> and Introduction to Literary Studies<\/em>. This blog is your starting point for everything related to the first of these modules \u2013 check this blog regularly several times a week, and you will always know what to do and where to be at what time!<\/p>\n The module consists of a lecture \u201cSurvey of Language and Linguistics\u201d and a seminar \u201cIntroduction to Linguistics\u201d. You are all in the same lecture, which takes place on Mondays from 14:15 to 15:45. For further information, simply click on the link \u201cLecture\u201d in the menu. For the seminars, you have been divided into six groups. To find out more about your seminar, click on the course number of your seminar.<\/p>\n If you are confused, please feel free to send us an email at structeng@fu-berlin.de<\/a>.
