  ►Face-to-face / In-classroom courses (offline): These courses can only be attended in a classroom in Göttingen..
• You practice grammar and all language skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing on the basis of the GER (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages)
• All offline/face-to-face courses include a programme of extracurricular activities (optional language tutorials, free time activities, and day trips). The extracurricular activities are included in the course fee.
