Oral Expression 

  • Participate in conversations in a simple way, taking into account that communication depends entirely on slower-paced repetitions, reformulations and rectifications
  • Pose and answer simple questions and statements, respond to statements made in areas of immediate need or on very everyday topics
  • Understand common expressions aimed at satisfying simple, everyday needs as long as the interlocutor collaborates by addressing them in clear and slow speech and repeats what they do not understand
  • Understand questions and instructions addressed to them clearly and slowly, understanding simple and brief directions
  • Introduce oneself and use basic greetings and farewell expressions. Ask how people are doing and express reactions to the news 
  • Understand everyday expressions aimed at satisfying simple concrete needs provided that the speaker collaborates by addressing them in clear, slow speech and repeats what they do not understand
  • Understand questions and instructions if spoken slowly and carefully, and understand short, simple directions on how to get to a place
  • Ask someone for something, and vice versa. 
  • Have a good command of numbers, quantities, prices and schedules
  • Make time indications by means of sentences such as, for example, "next week, last Friday, in November, at three o'clock"
  • Respond in an interview to simple and direct questions about personal data, if spoken very slowly and clearly without idioms or set phrases

 

Sociocultural and Sociolinguistic Competence 

  • Become familiar with the most relevant social aspects of everyday life situations, as well as with those related to their own field, which will result in the basic adaptation of their behavior to these situations and in the understanding or adequate use of the lexicon and functional exponents
  • Recognize and use the most common forms of social relations and treatment, within a standard register. In regular social situations, recognize and use the usual forms of address used to greet, say goodbye, address someone, give thanks, apologize, ask permission, take an interest in people and respond to an offer
  • Understand the behaviors and values that are different from one's own and that underlie the most evident and everyday socio-cultural aspects

Linguistic Competence 

  • Manage a basic repertoire of vocabulary and expressions related to the most common situations and functions foreseen in the syllabus
  • Develop a very limited control of linguistic resources, with systematic errors that usually occur at this level

In order to consolidate all these skills you will have more than 40 sessions designed by expert teachers and based 100% on the CEFR"

 

Did you know?

Communicative competence is not merely limited to the knowledge and ability to use the linguistic code, but has other broader dimensions, which place it in direct relation with other competences such as information processing and digital competence, learning to learn, social and civic competence, or cultural and artistic competence.

This implies a cultural immersion that is only possible through direct and continuous interaction with native speakers and real conversational situations.

TECH offers you what you were looking for: a practical language program completely adapted to your personal, academic and professional goals. 

A1 German Online Conversation Classes

Learning German is an excellent option when it comes to including a foreign language on your resume, as it is the second most spoken Germanic language worldwide and the first within the European Union if you count native speakers. But more than just learning it, the changing and globalized job market demands a certification that can support the acquired knowledge. Thinking about making this job easier for the student, at TECH Global University we have developed the A1 German Online Conversation Classes, a four-month program where you will learn to solve simple communicative tasks and fulfill the basic functions of these, both in an educational environment and in everyday situations; to interact and express yourself in an incipient but adequate way, in a standard register of oral language, and to use the necessary linguistic resources to get by in primary contexts of communication. How will you achieve this? Through online conversations with a native teacher who will not only help you take your first steps in the German language, but will also prepare you for future certification.

The best group classes to learn German

Various experts in the field of languages have shown that better learning results are obtained by giving preponderance to oral practice and listening comprehension over grammatical theory, in a simulated environment where you can interact with others in the language you want to develop. In this way, communicative skills are strengthened and neural connections are created that increasingly facilitate the acquisition of bilingual and multilingual skills. This paradigm is the approach that makes our program successful. Thanks to conversations with a German-speaking educator and group interaction, you will be able to learn everything from introductions and farewells using simple phrases to a basic repertoire of lexis and expressions related to the most common situations and functions in the curriculum.
