Methods: All language modules offered by the Language Learning Center follow a learner

centered and task-based methodology. The modules aim at helping students

with a quick and effective acquisition of communicative competence in the for-

eign language studied. An essential approach here is monolingual teaching: All

modules are taught entirely in the foreign language. Please be open to this ap-

proach as it will help to enhance your foreign language skills. Should there be a

need for discussion in another language, please refrain from doing so until the

end of the lesson or a break.
