Annotation -
This course aims to improve students’ listening comprehension and oral communication skills in German. Using authentic audiovisual materials (short films, podcasts, interviews) and interactive methods (discussions, role plays, presentations), participants will develop listening strategies and gain confidence in spontaneous speech.

Main objectives:

Understanding and analysing authentic listening texts

Training spontaneous and coherent speech production

Applying different language registers (colloquial, academic, regional varieties)

Discussing current topics and reflecting on language change

The course is designed according to the CEFR (B2 level): students understand the main ideas of complex texts, can interact fluently and spontaneously, and can express themselves clearly and in detail on a wide range of topics.
