Languages for Specific Purposes short courses offered in the Spring Term 2023 are:

Languages for Musicians (Italian or German language)

The main emphasis of the course is the development of music-related language skills, including appropriate diction and phonetics. Libretti, songs and audio-visual material are used as a source for language exercises as well as reading and speaking activities.
