It is, therefore, perfect for learners who are looking for a job or those who are already in work but need to acquire the necessary language skills.
From classroom to working day
Conducting a consultation, giving instructions and reacting to them, participating in a discussion and understanding a report, explaining a technical appliance, answering a complaint, discussing things with colleagues: these and many other situations help to teach the language repertoire required in a vocational setting. The many examples of different vocations - business manager, master baker, technician, care worker - facilitate the transfer of the language elements to any individual working environment.

The course bases itself on active communication - priority is given to communication strategies in a vocational context. A variety of exercises und lots of role plays serve as stimuli for the use, practice and independent further development of the course content.
Teaching designed to suit students' needs

As a result it is possible to tailor the material to suit students' needs. This will help teachers without any undue effort to design their lessons specifically geared to the course materials and the successful progress of their students.
