- Description/content
- The main focus of this German language course is the acquisition of language skills utilised daily in the tourism industry, e.g. in the hotel industry (reception, restaurant, kitchen) or at a travel agency. The course delves into various tourism models, such as sustainable tourism, and discusses emerging trends. Additionally, we will discuss the essence of tourism and the expectations German tourists hold when visiting foreign countries. To accomplish this, various communication scenarios will be practised at the B2 language level through reading manuscripts, listening exercises, and additional materials. Among other skills, participants will learn how to accurately comprehend a tour catalogue. The lessons align with the aims of communicative competence outlined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), delivered in an engaging and inspiring manner to facilitate your independent learning process. The language course takes place from Monday to Friday in the mornings, with four teaching units each morning lasting 45 minutes each.
In the afternoon, you can choose from various seminars on current issues in the areas of cultural and social sciences, e.g. history, literature, film, environment, European policy and interculturality.
A graded certificate will be issued to all participants at the end of the course. It will specify your individual language level according to the CEFR, along with your earned ECTS credits.
