International German Summer Course B2/C1 + Language Project Academic German

Reading and writing academic texts are key study skills. However, many specialist and scientific texts demand complex skills. The project is aimed at participants who would like to improve their reading and writing skills in the area of academic German. Apart from refreshing grammar relevant to academic German, the course also covers typical vocabulary as well as adequate formulation. Through practical tips and exercises, the course helps students learn reading and writing strategies competently. Linguistically, the focus is on communication and a confident use of the German language, adapted to specific situations. Grammatical knowledge and technical language aspects are practised and developed as appropriate to the upper level. The course amounts to 25 hours per week (17 hours of general language and eight hours of technical language).
