The curricular unit German III corresponds to the level A2.1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages as defined by the Council of Europe. The learner is able to:
- understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type.
- introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has.
- interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.

The syllabus of the curricular unit German III includes a broad range of current topics with respect to the German speaking countries, such as everyday situations and professional life (to travel; lifestyles; to invite, cook and eat; body and health; clothes; the weather). Different types of texts are used to explore the topics and to systematically train the four linguistic competencies (listening, speaking, writing and reading skills) in the target language. Competencies are systematically developed with respect to vocabulary and to grammatical structures. The main topics that are addressed in this curricular unit are closely related to daily activities and needs of the students, both on a professional and a personal level, so that students can be integrated into a German speaking community.
