5. Stammtisch C1
Wenn Sie über gute Sprachkenntnisse auf B2-Niveau verfügen, diese aber erweitern
möchten, dann ist der „Stammtisch C1“ genau richtig. In vielen alltäglichen
Lebenssituationen können Sie sich spontan und flexibel ausdrücken, sie möchten aber Ihre
Fähigkeit verbessern, sich klar, strukturiert und zu komplexen und wissenschaftlichen
Themen zu äußern. Alle Fertigkeiten, wie Lesen, Hören, Strukturen und Wortschatz werden
geübt. Bei Bedarf kann auch die Textproduktion trainiert werden. Im Fokus soll die
Kommunikation stehen – Diskussionsrunden, Gruppen- bzw. Partnergespräche und
Präsentationen bringen Sie ins Gespräch.
