Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the seminar is to offer students a voluntary opportunity to continue the language and conversation courses completed during the first year of the bachelor's programme and to further develop their communicative competence in German. The course focuses primarily on oral communication and provides opportunities for active discussion of a range of topics related to everyday life, study, and society. Particular emphasis is placed on expanding vocabulary, improving fluency and clarity of expression, responding appropriately in common communicative situations, and formulating personal opinions. The seminar supports the consolidation of language proficiency at levels B1-B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
The goal is perfect control of level B1-B2 according to CEFR.
