Business German

Catalog description

This course will present you with an introduction to the German business world, the larger context within which it is nestled (political/economical system) and provide you with a basic, practical set of tools (vocabulary, cultural knowledge) to help you function in various business settings. The course curriculum is designed around discussions of economic and political issues and around “hands-on” experience with practical everyday situations, which you will practice in role-plays /group work (phone etiquette, basic sales dialogs, contact with customers) and by completing written assignments (resume, e-mails, business letters, etc.).
