Course composition

The lessons are prepared with material based on the Common European Framework of Reference. The material is aligned with the exam parts prompted in all common examinations for German as a Second Language: reading, listening, written expression and oral expression.  Those four core competencies are built up during classes through topics of everyday life in cooperation with grammar lessons.

The course content focuses on building up those competencies through chapters that are connected to each other by grammar lessons and the everyday content. Grammatical knowledge, vocabulary knowledge, reading and listening comprehension as well as accurate pronunciation are taught during those teaching units.

Teaching method

The classes are based on the competencies reading, listening, written expression and oral expression. All content of the different language levels is communicated in small groups through special methods such as working with texts, listening comprehension, dialogue work in groups, pair work, writing letters and other texts, teaching and application of grammar rules and in intermediate courses the execution of debates and discussion rounds broaching controversial issues.
