This course covers a myriad of topics: communication, print media, radio, TV, and to some extent art, film, and music. Integrating all language skills, particular emphasis is placed on (1) vocabulary acquisition, concentrating on terminology pertaining to the above subjects, (2) listening comprehension, using current podcasts especially, and (3) writing skills, focusing on commentaries, group discourses, and reviews. Additionally, participants will give short presentations on Berlin culture and events, with follow-up discussions, and there will be ample, weekly grammar review. All students are expected to make regular use of the e-learning platform Moodle, which accompanies the course. The final exam will comprise three components: a vocabulary and grammar test, a listening comprehension test, and a writing task.
Voraussetzung: Online-Einstufungstest mit 50 bis 70 Punkten.
