- to be curious and rigorous;
- to take the context's specificity into account (social, economic, political and environmental reality of German speaking countries);
- to show creativity and autonomy.
At the end of the year, the student should be able to communicate orally and in writing in German at the European level B1+. (European Language Portfolio)
He should be able to understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters, to deal with most situations likely to arise while travelling, to produce simple connected text on topics that are familiar or of personal interest and to describe experiences, events and ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.
