Language of instruction: German

The course Danish A1 is suitable for participants without previous knowledge. The main focus is on teaching the first basic skills of the Danish language.

Using everyday conversation topics and situations (greetings and introductions; nationality and language; food and drink, travel, addresses and numbers), basic knowledge of Danish grammar and vocabulary will be taught. In the development of word fields, the following topics are mainly dealt with: Presentation of the person and making people known (name, nationality, profession or course of study, place of origin, family), hobbies and interests. The grammar focuses on personal pronouns, possessive phrases, interrogative particles, interrogative words and nominal clauses.

The language course is designed so that participants complete level A1 in two weeks. In the following semester, participants may take the Danish A2.1 course.

The course book covers chapters 1 to 10.

Regular and active participation is a prerequisite for successful completion of the course. This also requires the completion of homework to further practice and reinforce what has been learned.

The course takes place in a hybrid format. Before the start date, the teacher sends the course participants detailed information about the 1st session. Further face-to-face and online sessions will then be scheduled in consultation with the course participants.

Description

Lnaguage of instruction: German

Target group

This course is aimed at participants with no previous knowledge of Swedish.

Course content

The main focus is on teaching the first basics of the Swedish language. We learn the basics in vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar, which are sufficient for a small conversation. After the course, participants will be able to introduce themselves in Swedish, talk about their everyday life and leisure activities, do everyday things such as shopping in Swedish and pronounce everything correctly in the furniture store. The language course is designed to help participants achieve level A1 according to the European Framework of Reference in two weeks.

Teaching format

The course is an online course and combines face-to-face teaching phases on Webex with self-study phases. The face-to-face teaching is essential for individual learning progress, especially pronunciation and listening comprehension, and the group experience in the course. The self-study phase enables and encourages learning according to one's own methods and time management. The assessment basis for passing the course is a portfolio, which is created during the course.

You will receive an invitation to Webex by mail by the first day of class.

Description

Language of instruction: Spanish

Dear students (especially the ones from the study program B.A. International Management),

We would like to make you a unique offer and take the opportunity to take a look at all the topics of B1 Spanish in order to consolidate and deepen them, to repeat them and also to dispel doubts. To this end, I invite you to take an (intensive) journey into the Spanish-speaking world, which should help you to take a fresh look at what you have learned.

Whom is the course suitable for?

This course is designed for those who have already had Spanish 1 (B1) or higher at IIM (other participants with previous knowledge of at least B1 are also welcome) and now wish to repeat, improve and reconsider their knowledge.

What topics will be touched upon?

Speaking and interaction, the culture and topics of the economy/region as well as grammar, which we want to accompany with different media, will be central. In particular, we rely on an A2 basis (e.g. pasts, prepositions, perífrasis, etc.) in order to better understand the topics of B1 (subjunctive (present), passive, future, word groups, etc.). Likewise, open questions are always welcome!

How long is the course?

We will have 60 crash course teaching units (10 days of 6 x 45 minutes each) in the lecture-free period. During this time from 09.00 to 15.00 we will deal thematically with the consolidation of B1.

How do I prove my language level?

(@IIM:) We just need to know if you have participated in Spanish 1 this semester or have already gained further knowledge (for higher semesters, e.B. Spanish 3, etc.).
(@other students:) If you are looking outside the Spanish focus at IIM, then upload previous certificates from B1 or take the Spanish placement test.

What should I bring with me?

Joy, openness and interest in the Spanish language. Teaching materials are provided.

What is the goal?

Without writing an exam at the end, all necessary skills and (cultural) knowledge should be deepened and a stable or restored basis for new challenges in the Spanish language should be created.

Join us, since the best investment is the one in yourself! ¡NOS VEMOS PRONTO!
