LECTURER: Ina Gittel / lecturer of DAAD. Tel. No. 9653090 COURSE STATUS IN THE CURRICULUM: Compulsory discipline for full/time students in Information Technology (Computer Systems and Technologies) at the Faculty for German Engineering Education and Industrial Management of the TU of Sofia for obtaining a Bachelor Degree. DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE: Most of the students in this program will have professional development in both cultures – Bulgarian and German and in their future they will be in the position of intermediaries between Bulgaria and Germany at different levels as well as in various work related aspects. Therefore the didactic principles on which the course is based are cultural parallelism and comparison, illustration by examples and an open minded approach to cultural differences. German Studies 1 uses topics connected to the relationship between individual and society (cultural differences and the forms of their manifastation, cliches and prejudices, etc.) and between state and society (boundaries, Germany in Europe, the federal system in Germany, municipal government, ect.). AIMS OF THE COURSE: The aim of the course is to provide students with profound knowledge about the functioning of the German society as well as historical developments contributing to the countries current form. The improvement of the four basic language skills – reading, listening, writing and speaking is thereby another important ojective as the materials used and the tasks given include all language skills. Furthermore students will improve their skills for presentations in front of an audience as well as their academic writing skills. These also include learning techniques for the research of a given or chosen topic. German Studies 1 strives for helping student’s development as personalities open to a foreign culture, being tolerant and having skills for analysis, comparison and transfer of historical, social, economic and cultural fects, phenomena and relationships at their disposal. TEACHING METHODS: Traditional lecturing is rarely used at lectures where students participate with their own material on the discussed topics. During seminars team work on a given project takes place, the final aim being the working out and the presentation of an educational product, for example a report, interview, wall newspaper, album, etc. Self-study herby plays an important role. PREREQUISITES: German language proficiency at C1 level (GER) is required. TEACING MATERIALS: Overhead projector, multimedia projector, PC, authentic materials and documents, films, etc. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT: Written tests during the semester, working out of an „educational product“, ongoing assessment.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:The aim of the foreign language education is to enable students in using scientific literature and specialized texts, as well as to enhance their communicative competence adopting culturally appropriate modes of behaviour relevant to the specific situation and apply effective compensatory strategies in overcoming communicative problems. The additional practice of micro and macro language skills are targeted at preparing students for successful participation in international scientific conferences and symposia, graduate and post-graduate exchange programmes sponsored by the EU or bilateral agreements with partner universities. DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE:The students are taught according to a flexible modular system, adjusted to the three proficiency levels identified by means of an entry test in English. The programme of study consolidates and enriches the linguistic knowledge acquired in secondary schools with new categories, notions and lexis characteristic for each discipline.
