This course will suit you if you enjoy communicating in German and you want to develop your existing skills to a higher degree of fluency, have a strong interest in German Culture, history and politics and want to discover how past events have shaped contemporary society. Our vision is to develop your German listening, reading, speaking and writing skills in a vocational context for particular use in future employment, and to enable you to achieve the necessary exam techniques and grammatical skills to succeed. In order to achieve high standards, learning incorporates a mixture of authentic materials including broadcasts, newspapers, books and magazines in German. We see grammar as an integral part of language learning and expect you to have a sound working knowledge of basic constructions such as the main tenses and the concept of word order in the foreign language, although some time will be devoted to revising the fundamentals before further extending your knowledge.
