Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: 1. Introduction (What is the CW?)The term crisis is drastic but could be applied in the context of the current American television market. Due to the waste amount of online material spread all over the world wide web for free, online recording and TIVO, the financially necessary advertisement business is shrinking. The major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX) have a variety of shows that produce week after week solid ratings and high marketshares but the young network The CW is struggling. This network launched at the beginning of the 2006-2007 television season and now after approximately three years it is time to take a closer look whether it has been a success or not. In the beginning The CW claimed to become the fifth major network in the US let's check whether it was a prophecy or false hope. In order to accomplish that I will provide a brief historical overview of the network, the shows, its market placement and the website. [...]

Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 2,0, University of Paderborn, language: English, abstract: Children learn at a different speed and rate. There is a huge variety of different teaching methods. One of these methods is invented by Georgi Lozanov. His desuggestopedia theory believes in the power of students' feelings and puts the main focus on them. "e;The reason for our inefficiency [...] is that we set up psychological barriers to learning: We fear that we will be unable to perform, that we will be limited in our ability to learn, that we will fail. At first the change of the name has to be explained. The originator documents his theories on his present homepage:[ ] some not qualified person understood suggestion as a kind of hypnosis. But now with the term desuggestion it is easier to understand that it is not possible to think about hypnosis in suggestopedia. Only freedom of personality, inner freedom. These are the reasons for changing the name. The only cause were the feelings and ideas of the people who deal with this term. The task of desuggestopedia is to help students to eliminate negative feelings. They do not have to be afraid of answering questions or being unsuccessful. Moreover, they should feel free in the whole learning process. I agree with the opinion of this method that the reduction of mental barriers causes a strengthened self-confidence and prevents students from thinking about the fear of failure and this leads to a better attitude for learning. With the help of the information and observations from the Diane Larsen-Freeman book I will present how the psychological barriers vanish.

Der vorliegende Band liefert eine eingehende Untersuchung umbrischer und hethitischer Rituale und ritualbezogener Texte und hebt sich besonders durch die interdisziplinäre Perspektive und innovative Methodik von bisherigen Arbeiten in diesem Themenfeld ab. Durch die Untersuchung der jeweiligen funktionalen und kommunikativen Kontexte demonstriert Theresa Roth, wie aktuelle Fragestellungen der linguistischen Pragmatik und besonders der Fachsprachenforschung erfolgreich auf historische Sprachstufen angewandt werden können. Damit leistet sie einen maßgeblichen Beitrag zu der Frage, wie ritualbezogene Textsorten durch textstrukturelle und kommunikative Parameter geprägt und differenziert werden.This monograph contributes substantially to the identification and description of the communicative and textual parameters which characterize ritual language as a language for special purposes. The interdisciplinary approach used by the author is methodologically innovative within the field of historical linguistics. By examining the functional and communicative contexts of ritual and religious texts from Hittite and Umbrian, Theresa Roth demonstrates how current questions of pragmatics and research on languages for special purposes can be successfully transferred to ancient languages.
