Annotation -
The practical language course focuses on practicing and deepening communication skills in German and practicing selected passages of the German morphosyntactic system. It thus complements more theoretically oriented courses with a grammatical and lexical focus and prepares for the theoretical course Contemporary Language Grammar I-IV. Its specific content is variable and adapted to the current needs of the given group of students. The subject of training is both language resources and speaking skills.

Aim of the course -

The course aims to offer beginning students a space to practice practical language communication and selected language phenomena. It thus ensures contact with real communication. At the same time, it serves to equalize differences in the language competences of students who enter the study program with different initial knowledge and skills.
