Learning outcomes:
The modules “Le français pour la profession” and “Le français des affaires” provide a framework in which students can develop their French language skills in the areas of study and practice at level B1/B2
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with the differences in the application process in French-speaking countries, be able to prepare application documents in formal French with appropriate content and language and apply strategies for job interviews.
As an introduction to communicatively adequate technical language communication in practical situations, they will be able to use various listening and reading strategies based on course-specific technical texts and apply an extended repertoire of linguistic structures in the elaboration of subject-specific descriptions.

Teaching methods/Media:
Teaching and learning materials for specific target groups Due to the increasing digitalization of teaching and learning, more and more interactive digital materials will be made available via the learning management system and integrated into the teaching process as part of a blended learning approach. In exceptional situations, this also allows for the use of a video conferencing system instead of conventional in-classroom teaching.
