Autonomous application of the most important grammatical rules Communication skills (High)

Oral interaction with dialogs about everyday subjects

Written interaction with short messages about everyday subjects Self-learning skills (High)

Developing the ability to autonomously acquire and apply new vocabulary

Primary Module Aim Students are able to express themselves and to interact in German within an increasingly international professional and scientific environment. They can initiate contact, give information about themselves and ask others for information about them.

Module Content Grammar

Vocabulary building

Conversational situations

Presentations

Reading and listening comprehension

Competence-Oriented Learning Goals

Students are able to … Knowledge and understanding

understand words and sentences on the subjects of: greetings, personal interests, giving personal information, giving information on places and countries, shopping, eating and drinking, traveling, clock times and dates.

10

understand and apply basic language structures: present and perfect tenses of regular, separable and the most frequent irregular verbs; past tense of auxiliary and modal verbs; personal and possessive pronouns in the nominative, accusative and dative cases; articles in the nominative, accusative and dative cases; adjective comparison, prepositions with accusative, dative or varying case.

Application of knowledge and understanding

produce sentences and short coherent texts, in writing and orally, using their knowledge and understanding.

transfer the application of their new knowledge onto new vocabulary. Communication skills

understand phrases and the highest frequency vocabulary related to areas of most immediate personal relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment). They can read very short, simple texts. They can find specific, predictable information in simple everyday material such as advertisements, prospectuses, menus and timetables and they can understand short simple personal letters.

interact in a simple way provided the other person is prepared to repeat or rephrase things at a slower rate of speech and help them to formulate what they are trying to say. They can ask and answer simple questions in areas of immediate need or on very familiar topics. The students can write a short, simple postcard, for example sending holiday greetings. They can fill in forms with personal details, for example entering their name, nationality and address on a hotel registration form.

use simple phrases and sentences to describe where they live and people they know. They can use a series of phrases and sentences to describe in simple terms their family and other people and their living conditions. The students can write a series of simple phrases and sentences linked with simple connectors such as “but”, “and”.

Self-learning skills

autonomously acquire new vocabulary and apply their grammatical knowledge onto new subjects.

autonomously expand their knowledge into new subject areas.
