Learning objectives

The aim of the course is to reinforce individual abilities of students to express themselves in German. The previously gained knowledge of grammar and vocabulary will be revised and systematically expanded in real contexts.


After passing this course students should be able to communicate in German independently, at B2 level. The knowledge and skills gained should contribute to more fluent speaking and communication in personal, academic as well as professional environments.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

The course requires a very good knowledge of general language at least at B1+/ B2 level.

Progress assessment

Course-unit credit is awarded on condition of having attended the seminars actively, worked out assigned tasks and passed a credit test. 60% points at the credit test as minimum.

The examination at level B2 CEFR consists of a written and an oral part. The written part tests global and detailed listening and reading comprehension, grammar and vocabulary of the general language and of German for Specific Purposes and written expression.
The oral part is a dialogue on the current topics of conversation.

Attendance at seminars is compulsory and is systematically checked by the teacher. Students are allowed to miss two seminars. Regular attendance and active participation in classes are necessary conditions for taking the examination.
