Deutsches Haus Business German courses are designed for students who wish to learn the terminology and conventions of German in the business environment. Students hone their general language skills and, at the same time, familiarize themselves with German and intercultural business practices. In our Business courses, just as in our basic language classes, we emphasize the communicative approach to foreign language instruction. In class, students participate actively in discussions, make presentations and work in small groups. Video sequences, audio tapes and authentic materials are part of the curriculum.
Students read, write about and discuss current business topics.
The Business Curriculum consists of five 10-week courses which lead to competence in Business German. This is an introduction to basic communication skills at the workplace. Students learn to write more complex business correspondence. This is a two-part course that will accomodate topical preferences of the students. Materials include current business news broadcasts, textbook exercises, video, recent magazine and newspaper articles.
