Forms of learning include lectures, practical classes, which involve oral and written translation of sentences and texts from German into Ukrainian and vice versa, translation of video and audio; independent work (compilation of glossaries).

Knowledge control is carried out using the ECTS system, which provides for a two-level evaluation of the assimilated material, including the assessment of theoretical preparation, which constitutes 20% of the total score, and the assessment of practical preparation, which makes up 80% of the total score. The semester score is made up of points earned by the student in the process of mastering the material from the entire course. The overall grade for the semester consists of points earned for in-class work, independent work (glossary compilation), and a modular control work. The final assessment is in the form of a credit. The credit is given based on the student's work throughout the semester and does not provide for additional assessment measures for successful students.
