Course Description & Aim of lecture
For beginners of German we will offer the German A1.1
course. This class focuses on the introduction to the German
language, simple oral and written communication, and basic
German grammar. The following competences are imparted:
Students who pass the course successfully will be able to
provide information about themselves and their country of
origin; to greet and to say goodbye; to talk about their family;
to express their condition, preferences and resentments; to
talk about their hobbies and leisure time; to make and
understand time designations; to name prices and
quantities; to name things of everyday life (groceries,
furniture); to phrase simple questions; to talk about simple
activities and events in the past tense.
For intermediate students of German we will offer more
advanced courses on the levels required.
The textbook ”Schritte plus: Deutsch als Fremdsprache” (1
through 6 according to the course level) will be used in class.
The German language course meets twice a week throughout
the 7 weeks of the lecture period (Mondays from 10:00-14:00
and Wednesdays from 16:00-18:00). This corresponds to 4.5
ECTS credit points or 3 credit hours.

Aim of lecture/ Lecture content
This course provides an introduction into issues and
problems commonly encountered in strategy formation and
decision making by companies operating on an international
scale. Students of the course shall 1.) become more sensitive
to international marketing issues and develop an
understanding of current problems that international
marketers face on global markets, 2.) develop a knowledge of
concepts and methods used in international marketing
theory and business practice, 3.) be capable of applying the
presented framework, concepts, and methods, to typical
issues in international marketing management.
Cases will help you to develop strategic thinking in an
international marketing context and will provide you with an
opportunity to sharpen your verbal and written
communication skills. Utilizing a teaching approach that
mixes cases, class discussions, group workshops, you will
learn key concepts and tools used in solving international
marketing problems.

As a seminar in the intercultural classroom format, it is also
open to German students, especially of the Angewandte
Studiengänge. The seminar is based on Tony Judt’s seminal
book Postwar: A History of Europe since 1945, published in
2005. Using this text, students will enter into a dialogue with
the instructor and each other regarding the development of
Germany and Europe in the past sixty years and investigate

Course Description
This course explores aspects of German cinema from the early
pioneer period through the present. We will analyze the films as
cultural documents, exploring overarching themes as well as
discontinuities between the various stages of German film history:
from German Expressionist visions in the Weimar period, through
the social traumas of the early 1930s to the so-called rubble film
(Trümmerfilm) of the immediate post-Nazi era; from the
internationally renowned New German Cinema--which takes a
critical stance not only on German history as a whole, but also on
the history of film and commercialism--to post-wall cinema and to
the contemporary films of Turkish-German filmmakers. The
participants will be introduced to the basics of film analysis and
read critical texts on German film. Our discussions will also focus
on offering the students an awareness of institutional,
technological, political and economic factors, as well as an
awareness of the importance of German art and popular cinema
traditions, of stars and audiences, and of the relationship of cinema
to other art forms and media.
