Course objectives
The aim is to train debating skills based on subjects chosen from newspaper articles or academic publications. The panoply of subjects is wide and will not only be subject to the interests of the tutor: topics such as Czech and Austrian relations, the German or Austrian press, can been touched on, as well as political matters of the day or cultural and economic issues. The tutorial focuses on the oral participation of all students, who are encouraged to participate in a collegial atmosphere. There will be the chance to use more complex grammatical forms in German and on the semantic level such as the subjunctive, indirect speech, different modalities etc.
