Capita selecta from the manuals. The vocabulary deals with topics from business and society. Grammar topics are: word order (main clause, sub clause, conjunctions), verbs (all tenses, incl. the passive voice), pronouns, prepositions, nouns (strong and weak declension), and adjectives (all uses). Exercises on grammar and vocabulary. Reading texts and articles on business life, management and society. Audio and visual materials from the internet.

Classes consist of lectures, interactive sessions and practice. E.g. the lecturer explains an aspect of grammar. Students do exercises afterwards. New vocabulary items are taught in interactive sessions by means of texts and a manual. Audiovisual aids are used when appropriate. We organize pronunciation and conversation exercises with some topics in the manual and expect students to be active in class.
