Prerequisites
NJ_C101 Practical German C1 && NJ_C102 Practical German C1+
Founded productive and receptive language skills are presupposed on the level stage C1 after the European reference framework. The final examination is oriented after the European reference framework and plans reaching receptive skills of the level C2, with the productive authority level stage C1. The European reference framework defines these two-level stages as follows:
C1: "Can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognize implicit meaning. Can express him/herself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions. Can use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic, and professional purposes. Can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organizational patterns, connectors, and cohesive devices."
C2: "Can understand with ease virtually everything heard or read. Can summarise information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments, and accounts in a coherent presentation. Can express him/herself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in more complex situations."
