Special features of the module

1 part of the module (2 SWS) can be taught by a tutor. In this case, students work in smaller (sub)groups, which leads to greater efficiency and intensity in learning the language.

Brief description

In the module Polish A2 students further develop their skills and competences at level A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

This enables them to have basic communication skills in everyday situations, but also in university-specific contexts. 

The module consolidates and secures general language skills in Polish. Students' communicative skills in speaking, listening, reading and comprehension are strengthened and developed.

The rich vocabulary and descriptive thematic compilations provide even more confidence for independent communication.

Knowledge Broadening

Students are able to read and understand easy authentic texts and to act and communicate in everyday conversation situations.

Students are be able to distinguish different grammatical structures and apply them in appropriate contexts.

Knowledge deepening

Basic grammatical and syntactic structures are repeated and consolidated and continuously expanded so that students can use them in everyday communication situations.

With improved vocabulary, students can express themselves more precisely (describe or explain situations, justify opinions).

Students expand their linguistic competence and observe basic orthographic and phonetic rules.

Knowledge Understanding

Students recognize the cultural characteristics of Poland in a general language context. They understand how cultural differences can affect communication.

Application and Transfer

Students will be able to use not only basic but also more complex grammatical and syntactic structures, as well as a basic vocabulary of general language, and will be able to find their way around and express themselves in familiar communication situations.  

After this course students are equipped to understand short oral presentations and texts. They are able to follow a conversation if it is on a topic they are familiar with.

In addition, students know how to introduce themselves and other people/concepts/situations orally as well as in writing and report on and ask about their own interests, preferences, abilities, plans, projects and past events more precisely than at A1 level. 

Students are able to understand simple stories, but also easy authentic texts, exchange information about family, daily and weekly routines, justify a decision, and express comparisons and evaluations.

Communication and Cooperation

With the help of oral and written text production as well as discussions and short presentations, students acquire a solid basis for acting in a culturally appropriate manner in more complex general language communication situations.

Students are able to give short presentations in which they describe, demonstrate and comment on various situations/concepts. 

They can take part in simple discussions where they justify their opinion or present arguments (for/against).

Academic Self-Conception / Professionalism

Students have a good assessment of their own language skills and know how to improve their language skills if necessary.
