Learning outcomes

Course contents
The course continues with the study of the topics dealt with in the first year, with particular focus on:
• morphological, syntactical, phonetic and lexical structures of standard German;
• language variation, with particular reference to differences in register;
• the question of reliability of sources, selection and veracity of information;
• the phenomena of linguistic contact;
• the dynamics of bilingual communication;
• the knowledge and use of lexicographical tools and online resources (different types of dictionaries, corpora, data bases).
In addition, through targeted educational interventions, the course enhances the development of relevant skills for text production and oral interaction.
Students are expected to achieve C1 competence level.
