Abstract

The students, who are enrolled at German Preparatory Language Programme at the School of Foreign Languages, lack German speaking skills. To address this problem, we’ve designed extra-curricular German speaking activities. An ERASMUS+ exchange staff (a German trainee teacher of German as a foreign language) conducted out-of-class German speaking activities once a week for three weeks in total. Each speaking activity is lasted for 1,5 hours per week. 7 volunteered students of German language preparatory programme attended the speaking activity regularly. The activity took place at a cafe in the university campus. Three data collection tools were used. A questionnaire, which is an adapted version of Sabo’s questionnaire, is applied. An interview is then held with each student on individual basis. The German trainee teacher took fieldnotes after each activity. Almost all students note that the opportunity to communicate in German enable them to improve their speaking skills, the use of grammatical rules and vocabulary.
