When students who are active teachers of German participate, the exchange of experience will be an aspect of the seminar. Practice in writing German texts is mainly in the form of active participation on the programme website, using such participation as a process and reflection tool when working with the course. Additionally, there are oral and written presentations of the projects carried out in the course of the semester.
