Learning unit contents
This course is partially based on the textbook "Unternehmen Deutsch.Grundkurs" and introduces students to vocationally relevant vocabulary (business vocabulary, making arrangements, negotiating, working in Germany, understanding job offers, communication on the job, intercultural skills...)
We will also concentrate on some of the units of «Begegnungen. Deutsch als Fremdsprache » that have not been seen during level 1. This will especially be the case during the first lesson.
The other part of the course consists in an introduction to HR-related vocabulary. It aims at consolidating the vocabulary as well as the structures used in HR-related articles taken from the German press. The articles will also be used as a starting point for discussions.
Students are expected to work on a regular basis.
