Magedera-Hofhansl, Hanna

With decreasing numbers of students studying German at Higher Education Institutions in the United Kingdom, there is an increasing demand for graduate Germanists. This project, designed for C1/C2 level students according to the Common European Framework of Reference for languages, prepares finalist students for a job market in which UK and German businesses need culturally aware and competent speakers of English and German. This chapter offers a holistic approach to classroom exercises that will increase students' professional and employability skills. A short list of references and links is included. [For the complete volume, "Employability for Languages: A Handbook," see ED566902.]
