Prerequisites and co-requisites
The program is designed for students who have a B2 level of proficiency in the German language, acquire basic linguistic terms, principles of language analysis, and understand the specifics of semantics and the functioning of linguistic units at all levels. They should also have practical skills in oral and written communication in various communicative situations.
Course content
The aim of the instruction at this stage is the integrated and sequential development of all components of communicative competence, with a dominant role given to linguistic, pragmatic, and sociocultural competences. Further development is focused on academic (strategic) and professional communicative competence. Students enhance their skills in effectively using language stylistic devices in various domains and registers of language communication, including intercultural communication, at the level of a proficient user. This entails the ability to understand, interpret, and produce texts of different types and speech genres, while expressing oneself fluently, clearly, coherently, and comprehensively in complex situations. Students should appropriately utilize a variety of syntactic means and a wide range of grammatical structures. The course concludes with a pass/fail assessment in the first semester.
