21810496 - GERMAN STUDIES

The Course, which is for students with a good overall understanding and practical knowledge of the German language, Level B1 (looking to improve specific grammar, written and spoken skills), will build on previously acquired listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. They will further develop their political and cultural knowledge in German-speaking countries. The course is taught in German and is divided into a linguistic section, which pays particular attention to the acquisition of sectoral lexicons in the political-legal and historical-economic fields, and a thematic section, which is devoted to the German-speaking region through texts and documents of various kinds from newspapers, non-fiction books, films and literature, whereby literature serves as a model for complex cultural communication, aesthetics and criticism.

Ziel dieses Kurses ist es, die bereits von Studenten erworbenen Sprachkompetenzen durch die Vertiefung der politisch-kulturellen Erfahrungen im deutschsprachigen Raum zu perfektionieren. Es gliedert sich in einen sprachlichen Teil, der dem Erwerb sektoraler Lexika im politisch-juristischen und historisch-ökonomischen Bereich besondere Aufmerksamkeit widmet, und einen weiteren thematischen Teil, der dem deutschsprachigen Raum durch Texte und Dokumente unterschiedlicher Art aus Zeitungen, Sachbüchern, Filmen und Literatur gewidmet ist, wobei die Literatur als Modell für komplexe kulturelle Kommunikation, Ästhetik und Kritik dient.
