When learning a foreign language, 2 course units of 90 minutes per week are not enough to make noticeable progress. In order to optimally adapt the further development of language skills to one's own interests and needs, independent preparation and follow-up work is recommended. At least 4 to 5 hours of independent self-study per week during the semester are a guide to successfully completing the module.
In most courses, homework is given weekly to review the last and/or prepare for the following lesson. It should be noted that homework is essential for class preparation to ensure active class participation for the lecturer.
In addition to homework, the use/exploitation of all available resources and opportunities for successful foreign language learning is highly recommended. Language café, tandem learning as well as multimedia online resources of the university offer good support here. Of course, the lecturer can also be consulted about these possibilities.
