The course TYSK2301 will help to develop the students' oral and written language skills to an advanced level (C1/C2). Working with selected German-language texts of different genres (e.g. newspaper articles, scientific papers, excerpts from novels and short prose) and German in speech (e.g. in movies), the students are trained in understanding and using German for various written and oral purposes. The course will focus on one or several general topics related to German-language communities today.
