Learning outcomes
The aim of language exercises I through V is to gradually consolidate and deepen language competence in the areas of conversation, listening comprehension, applied grammar and text production. Knowledge of the German language will be successively expanded from the B1- level to level C1 (CEFR). Language I will concentrate on the key competences of spoken speech - listening with comprehension and active reproduction (2h per week) as well as separate practical application of selected grammatical phenomena (2h per week). The aim of the seminar is to improve the communication and receptive language skills of the students. Selected grammatical phenomena are not practiced on the basis of grammar exercises, but in close connection with thematic circuits, so that students can automatize them in a natural situation and then apply them in their own speech. In this first block of the Language Exercise Complex, the emphasis is mainly on consolidating and deepening the knowledge of the German language at B1 (CEFR) level.
Ability to communicate orally and in written form on level B1.
