The subject aims to consolidate and further improve students' already considerable skills of aural comprehension and oral performance as well as reading and writing in more demanding and complex situations concerning university life in Germany and other aspects of German society. It provides students with the linguistic skills to attend a German-speaking university. The subject assumes a sound knowledge of German elementary grammar and teaches students more complex and varied structures. By the end of the subject, students are expected to be approaching the communicative competence required to satisfy complex social and professional needs in speaking, listening, reading and writing skills and have developed an understanding of the various social and cultural contexts in which the language is used. Students also expand their ability to understand the general and specific content of sophisticated magazine and newspaper articles.
