Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • produce texts that deal with different themes and that relate to everyday subjects
  • structure and summarise the content of simple German non-fiction
  • critically review their own texts and the texts of others, detecting grammatical and idiomatic errors, and correct and comment on these.
