This module caters for Intermediate learners of German and will consolidate, develop, and extend listening, speaking, reading and writing skills acquired at IWLP German Level 3 or equivalent (post A1, middle of A2 in the Common European Framework of Reference). Receptive and productive skills will be developed within a range of contexts in the target language by the use of authentic materials, text and practice books, etc. Structured language will be taught in the context of situations and personalised topics and you will begin to cope with a variety of less predictable real life situations. However, particular emphasis will be put on receptive skills (reading & listening).
The course content will be delivered in a lively and interactive way, through activities designed to enable you to use the language in context, either in small groups or in pairs.
