Intended learning outcomes

The general aim of the course is that the student should develop basic communicative ability in German. This is done in a context where the student develops basic knowledge of German-language social systems with an emphasis on companies' legal and market political conditions, as well as economic and financial information.

On completion of the course, the student should, in speech and writing, and with such precise language that it can be understood and accepted by a person within the German language area, be able to
- describe the legal and market political conditions of companies in Germany
- describe companies' economic and financial information in their country/language area
- identify and discuss differences and similarities in these conditions and economic information in relation to Swedish conditions.

Course content

The course builds on the initial language course "Communicate in German 1". Through the study of documents with primarily social and economic contents, the linguistic communication ability is trained towards more linguistic precision in a context that is relevant for the education as a whole. The course contents are related, among other things, to the previous courses within the programme in the field of economics: Organization, Microeconomics, Commercial and Business Law I, Financial Accounting and Management Control.

Other information

Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus. The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
