Course objectives
Based on German conversation I, students will have the chance to improve on their discussion skills. In addition to freely chosen topics, participants will be confronted by standard situations in German conversation. The aim is to train and expand German oral speech with the help of issues chosen from newspaper articles or academic publications. The panoply of subjects is wide and will not only be subject to the interests of the tutor: topics such as Czech and Austrian relations, the German or Austrian press, can been touched on, as well as political matters of the day, or cultural and economic issues. The tutorial focuses on the oral participation of all students, who are encouraged to participate in a collegial atmosphere.
Learning outcomes
Students will be able to work with academic literature in German – i.e. to understand it and apply this knowledge in their studies.
