Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to develop communication skills in German at level B1 + according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The focus is on the spoken language, but the written language will also be cultivated during the seminar. To the topics of the modern textbook PERLMANN-BALME, Michaela, Susanne SCHWALB and Magdalena MATUSSEK: Sicher! aktuell. German as a foreign language. Level B2.1 Ismaning: Hueber Verlag, 2019, vocabulary is developed and the ability to react logically and quickly to everyday situations is practiced. Students are also constantly confronted with problematic grammatical or spelling phenomena and are guided not only in discussions or interviews, but also in writing to use them correctly. Understanding written text or listening exercises is also an essential component. As part of their homework, students read two books, Fünfzehn Kurzgeschichten (Wolfgang Borchert) and Die Känguru-Offenbarung (Marc-Uwe Kling). The required knowledge corresponds to CEFR level B1+ in all language skills (productive and receptive) and language resources. The seminars are held in German.
Students are able to communicate orally and in writing on the topics covered according to the CEFR with a rich vocabulary and a good knowledge of grammar.
