Anglistik und Amerikanistik zeichneten die fünf besten Absolventinnen aus

Fünf Anglistinnen standen am Abend des 4. Dezember 2012 im Mittelpunkt eines Festaktes. Bei der traditionellen Verleihung des Excellence in English and American Studies Award im Meerscheinschlössl wurden sie als beste Absolventinnen der Anglistik des Studienjahres 2011/12 ausgezeichnet.

Mag. Doris Fallent, Mag. Melanie Gutmann, Mag. Susanne Kopf, Mag. Maria Scheer und Mag. Cornelia Schröpel beeindruckten nicht nur mit einer herausragenden Diplomarbeit, sondern auch mit einem exzellenten Notendurchschnitt von höchstens 1,2 über das gesamte Studium hinweg.

 

Die Auszeichnung, die von Ao.Univ.-Prof.i.R. Dr. Bernhard Kettemann 2003 ins Leben gerufen wurde, soll besondere Leistungen würdigen und gleichzeitig zur Nachahmung motivieren. Darüber hinaus sei es gerade für die Geisteswissenschaften wichtig, herausragende Leistungen für die Gesellschaft sichtbar zu machen, so Kettemann.

 

Die Diplomarbeitsthemen der Preisträgerinnen spiegeln die spannende Vielfalt der Studienrichtung wider. Vorgestellt wurden sie in den Laudationes von der/dem Betreuerin/Betreuer der Arbeit:

 

  • Mag. Doris Fallent: „The Effects of Dyslexia on Learning English as a Foreign Language. Case Studies with Austrian Children“, betreut von Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Margit Reitbauer

  • Mag. Melanie Gutmann: „A study of English learners´ speaking anxiety and willingness to communicate at the point of transition from high school to university“, betreut von Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. David Newby

  • Mag. Susanne Kopf: „Critical Discourse Analysis: Hillary R. Clinton and Women in the New York Times during the Presidential Candidacy Campaign 2008“, betreut von Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. Hermine Penz

  • Mag. Maria Scheer: „The Role of Competences in Austrian Foreign Language Teaching“, betreut von Ao.Univ.-Prof. Dr. David Newby
