Topics covered during the term
Aktualitások a német közélet alakulása alapján. A nyelvi tárgyak esetében nem készülnek részletes tematikák, mert a tárgy célja a készségfejlesztés, és nem egy adott (tematizálható) tudásanyag frontális átadása. Ez ad lehetőséget arra, hogy a tematika az adott csoport igényeihez igazodjon, a tárgy céljainak megfelelően.
