Gruppe 7
Niveau C1
This course will focus on integrating all aspects of language usage (reading, listening, discussion and writing) as they apply to academic and professional purposes in Social Work.
In the first half of the course we will look at the historical and current framework of the profession in Germany and in English-speaking countries (UK, USA): at the macro level, the political foundations of the social welfare system and the establishment and development of social work as a profession.
Students will be asked to give presentations on issues pertaining to sociological concepts, practice methodologies, common core values and ethical guidelines.
The second half of the course will focus on the micro level of social work practice— how to apply knowledge and skills in individual client cases. A case study is the basis for sharpening listening and reading skills; discussion of the case study will aid in the development of analytical skills, and writing social history reports will exercise the expression of logic, clarity and cohesion, objectivity vs. subjectivity, as well as social sensitivity.
