Description

Participation in teaching, Refresher Course of Basic German (CEFR A1)

Working methods

* * *

The course will take place in the 2nd period from 27.10.-12.12.2025. The last section of the course material, Unit 6, will end already on 05.12, after which you will have one week to complete any late assignments and the final exam. It is therefore possible to complete the course by 05.12. There is no kick-off meeting for the course, but the teacher will give instructions via messages and videos. The Moodle platform provides all the information necessary to complete the course.

The course material consists of six topics, each of which is allocated a week. There is flexibility in the timetable if the participant needs it, but to avoid the work piling up, it is clearly best to do one section per week, i.e. to set aside time each week for studying German. It is difficult to give an exact number of hours, because it may vary according to each participants background as a German learner, but it is essential to set aside a few hours on more than one day a week. 

Assignments are done independently. The teacher will support the learning process by making video presentations on the topics to be studied, answering the participants' questions, commenting on their texts and being available on request for tutoring, either in the Language Centre or via Zoom. At the end of the course, an online self-assessment exam will be taken.
