COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

1	Reception: In listening students will be able to understand familiar, simple and everyday expressions and questions. They will be able to read and understand simple adapted texts and basic information given in posters, schedules, forms and other material in everyday language, both by listening to a person if he/she talks slowly, or by reading from texts containing illustrations/international words.
2	Production: In speaking students can introduce him/herself and answer questions about personal details. With frequently used expressions that have been learned by heart, he/she may interact in routine matters such as shopping, going to restaurant, seeing a doctor, and travelling, provided the other person adjusts themselves to his/her limited language skills. In writing students will be able to provide simple, everyday information (e.g. postcards), fill out forms with personal data, connect simple sentences to write about his/her immediate environment, daily routines, and family and friends.
3	Reflection: Students will be able to self-correct their vocabulary use and conjugated forms in structured dialogues, if the teacher provides hints. They will gain social-cultural competences in German-speaking countries like greetings, dealing with time, behavior in public, or responding to personal invitation. Students will also be able to reflect in his/her native language on experiences in learning German, on their personal learning strategies, define their own learning goals and assess their progress accordingly.
