Our aim

We want to empower international students to

• communicate confidently and self-assuredly in German
• differentiate between and use formal and informal forms of communication
• prepare presentations and speeches in seminars linguistically
• practise typical conversational situations at the university
• overcome linguistic hurdles when applying for jobs or dealing with university formalities
• integrate better linguistically both in their studies and in everyday social life

The focus is on playfully practicing real situations from everyday university and professional life. Together we train typical communication situations and develop your oral skills in a targeted manner.

Supported by the DAAD

The language workshop is funded by the DAAD as part of the FIT:TER program.
