 The main learning goal of this worksheet is to expand and deepen the advanced German vocabulary of students and learners at the C1 level. This will be achieved by introducing and actively using 10 specific German words, with their meanings inferred from descriptions and practiced in various contexts.

Content and Methods: The focus is on 10 advanced German words, with their meanings described in German. The methods are diverse: vocabulary discovery (deriving the English meaning from the German description), productive language use (writing a text of about 200 words using all the vocabulary), the "Taboo" game to describe the words without using certain key terms, and a final knowledge check by matching the German words with their English counterparts.

Skills:

• Linguistic Skills (German): Expanding advanced vocabulary (C1)
• Reading Comprehension: Inferring word meanings from context and description
