The virtual exchange for the module “Introduction to Business English and Technical English” is also taking place at the THA in the winter semester 2025/26. Participating universities include IU de Bourges and Université de Lorraine in France, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences in Poland, and Braude College of Engineering in Israel. This semester Van Yüzüncü Yıl University in Turkey has joined the project. 

 

The students meet in small groups on Zoom and work over a period of five weeks on tasks that have been jointly developed by the lecturers of the participating universities. Topics include cultural education and communication as well as corporate culture in different countries.
This trains communication skills and sharpens students' awareness of intercultural issues and English as a lingua franca. Students gain insights into a new culture and often consciously engage with their own culture for the first time.
The project is organized and supervised by Professor Alice Gruber, Faculty of Applied Humanities and Natural Sciences (Center for Languages and Intercultural Communication) and Faculty of Economics.
