Pros: School AND companies will be interested in a topic like that!

Pros: I will know much about the topic by the time I will start writing because of 3 seminars and my own experiences.

Pros: It seems very interesting to me! I like my presentation on international presentations, negotiations and conflict management and my study on banking and intercultural learning very much!

Pros: I know where to start the book search!

Pros: Most likely my professor will be very interested in this topic.

Cons: I don’t have a precise and useful idea yet.

Cons: It might be a good topic for a written or an oral exam???

This is my current overview on the topics I am planning to take and I know it s not much yet (but it’s still more than half a year to go): Finals

this is a category that does not really fit only into this seminar but is supposed to go beyond it. Here I want to collect ideas for my final paper (Diplom- oder Examensarbeit) which I am supposed to start next year.

Following the complaints of Prof. Meyer that teachers are still hunter-gatherer in terms of their teaching materials I thought about collecting teacher-made materials online, structure it and write about it. I found an Online Link: http://moodle.scheffelgym.de/moodle/ where the scheffle school collects their materials via moodle.  This is something I could do for a school in Hamburg. I could write about the process and difficulties of doing this or the materials itself.

Pros: It has something to do with E-learning.

Pros: It is something very useful!

Cons: I don’t know much about moodle yet.

Cons: Need to find a school that is interested and teachers that are open minded to give their material. – Schlankreye????

Cons: Seems a lot of work only for collecting things without getting started with the paper.

Cons: I don’t know where to look for materials on the topic yet.

Cons: It hasn’t much to do with English didactics (?), linguistics or international management – I could do it for English only????

Cons: Does it prepare me well for a job in teaching? Does it prepare me for creating in-house seminars?
