This module is intended for students of all departments with an outside option in their course structure, leading from no knowledge in German to a level equivalent to CEFR A1.1 in the autumn term. Students will acquire fundamental language skills in German alongside a specific focus on professional skills such as summarising and reporting, filtering written and spoken material for essentials, business communication, giving simple professional oral presentations in German, as well as developing an understanding of the working environment and cultural background in German speaking countries. The follow-on module LA218 will take students to CEFR A1.2 in the spring term.
