Target
This course is aimed at students with little or no previous experience of German.
Objectives
The aim of the beginners' course is to give students the basic tools of the German language (grammar, vocabulary, phonetics) so that they can quickly communicate and converse in simple situations, answer questions and speak on subjects concerning their personalities and everyday environment. The course trains students to understand short authentic audio documents, to read simple texts (from everyday life, but also literary or journalistic) and to write short texts (short essays, dialogues, e-mails, stories, comments or subtitles on photos, film images, advertisements, etc.).
The beginners' course takes three semesters to reach level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, enabling students to take the Goethe Institut's B1 certificate.
An internship in a German-speaking country is recommended after the second semester.
