Course Content and Learning Goals
At A1 level, students acquire German knowledge to meet their most basic needs in daily life. During the course, basic grammar structures, commonly used words and expressions are taught. Students become able to introduce themselves, ask and answer simple questions, participate in daily conversations, and read and write simple texts. Additionally, language structures necessary for numbers, time expressions, directions, and basic social situations are taught.
Teaching Method and Classroom Environment
The course is conducted with a communication-focused approach. There are a maximum of 12 students in each class and each class has two teachers. This system allows for a focus on students' individual language development. Classes are enriched with interactive materials, role plays, group work, and practical exercises. Students are included in classes as active participants, not just passive listeners.
