Language for specific purposes - German

ger

Language for specific purposes differ from the common language and builds on it. Many different professional, technical and specialist areas have their own technical language. Technical Languages are characterized by the use of of certain technical terms and foreign words, the so-called technical vocabulary. This contributes to the the unambiguousness of the technical language, which allows to describe facts precisely and accurately. and precisely. Science, technology, medicine and economy are examples of areas that have a specific technical language.

 

Course Coordination

Dr. Kristina Seibert


Hello, my name is Kristina Seibert and I come from Westerwald, which is a region in the north of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. I studied "Literary Studies: Literature, Culture, Media" and did my PhD on the construction of regions in German-language regional crime novels. In addition, I completed a continuing education program in teaching German as a foreign language. My special interests are researching creative as well as collaborative writing and, in this context, didactics for writing support in foreign language teaching. Therefore, creative and/or collaborative writing tasks are an integral part of my German teaching.

 

NRWege ins Studium


As part of the NRWege ins Studium project we offer German language courses for special purpose.

The courses develop both receptive and productive skills in the area of general academic language. Confident use of general academic language is an important prerequisite for studying. To this end, in addition to working on linguistic structures and the vocabulary of general academic language, work techniques for writing your own academic texts are also developed and applied.

The course programme is primarily aimed at students who already have a certificate such as DSH, TestDaF, TELC C1 Hochschule or similar. If you are interested, please contact daf@spz.uni-siegen.de.

As the course programme is funded by the NRWege project, students with a refugee background have priority for course admission. Possible free places will also be allocated to students with a comparable level (proof of placement test or participation in corresponding courses at the Language Centre). Participants must be prepared to complete a questionnaire at the beginning of the semester with information on their country of origin, time of entry, residence status, etc.

Forging International Talents - FIT in Siegen


As part of the Forging International Talents - FIT in Siegen project, we offer language courses for special purpose and German intensives courses.

In the summer semester 2025, the course Technisches Deutsch im Studium und Beruf (ab B1.2) will take place. This course is designed to prepare students for the new linguistic challenges and communication situations associated with starting a career. Both oral and written language activities (e.g. presentations, discussions, customer meetings, emails, minutes, reports) will be covered. Various intercultural difficulties will also be addressed.

The course is designed for students who have already reached the B1.1 German level (proof of a placement test or a participation in corresponding courses at the Language Center is required).

In the winter semester 2025/2026, the course Technisches Deutsch im Studium und Beruf will take place, which is aimed at students from scientific and technical degree programmes. The seminar will focus on two areas. One focus is on acquiring, expanding and consolidating the specialised vocabulary and language structures for the relevant subject areas. The other focus is on applying what has been newly learnt to the presentation and discussion of learning content and/or projects from the student's own subject area.

The course is designed for students who have already reached the B1.1 German level (proof of placement test or participation in corresponding courses at the Language Center).

The courses can be recognised as part of the Employability Pass. Further information can be found here: https://blogs.uni-siegen.de/fit-in-siegen/

Jessica Berger

Hello, my name is Jessica Berger and I moved from Cologne to Siegen in 2004. I studied "Literary Studies: Literature, Culture and Media" and later completed a certificate program for teaching German as a foreign and second language.
