Content |
|
In
contrast to the Grundkurs, which concentrated on your receptive
language skills, the focus of the Aufbaukurs will lie on your productive
language skills.
We will
deal with different aspects of English language, such as grammar,
vocabulary, translation and writing, and discuss a variety of texts in
class.
As the course is designed as a coached self-study
course, you are expected to do a considerable amount of
homework every week.
The course ends with a written examination
whose date is still to be announced in class.
