The module can also be offered as part of the International Summer Language Course. Lecturer-based learning takes place in an adapted form.

1 semester

In this general German course, learners with no previous knowledge of German acquire the first basics of the German language and train all target language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking). The focus is on dealing with the most obvious everyday situations, which leads to grammar topics such as conjugating verbs in the present tense and sentence structure in questions.

• Short and very simple listening and reading texts on topics relating to their own needs or person
• Filling out a form with personal data
• Keyword-like completion of telephone notes
• Basics of grammar according to level A1.1
• Pronunciation training at sound and word level
• Short phrases for personal introductions

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• The learning objectives are achieved in particular through communicative learning, whereby all language skills are taken into account and practiced in varying teaching forms (frontal teaching as well as individual, partner and group work).
• Learning is supported by individual preparation and follow-up in the form of homework and self-study in analog and digital form.
• The hours inserted in the Lecturer-based learning field are teaching hours.

• Portfolio exam

• The portfolio exam comprises 100 points and consists of a 20-minute written exam (K20), a 90-minute written exam (K90), a written work sample (APS) and a oral exam (M). K20 is weighted with 10 points, K90 with 50 points, APS with 15 points and M with 25 points.
• By taking the first exam element, the student declares that they wish to take the exam in this module.
• The portfolio exam is passed if 50% of the total points to be achieved have been earned.
• The portfolio exam tests all target language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) as well as vocabulary and grammar.

• Written exam: 20 and 90 minutes; see valid study regulations
• Written work sample as part of the portfolio exam: approx. 150 words
• Oral exam as part of the portfolio exam: approx. 5-10 minutes
• The requirements will be specified in the respective seminar.

None

• Students learn the basics of the German language, both receptively and productively.
• After completing the module, students will be able to understand and respond to short questions about themselves or well-known people and places.

The students learn very simple expressions with which they can cope with simple, everyday language activities related to their immediate needs.

• After completing the module, students can understand very simple, familiar sentences about familiar people and places and express themselves using simple, isolated and memorized phrases. Conversation is entirely dependent on formulating statements and questions in very simple language and repeating and rephrasing them more slowly if they are not understood.
• The students are thus at the initial A1 level.
• Students can use very simple linguistic structures and a few rules of grammar.
