"Time lies at the core of German culture. For Germans it is one of the principal ways of organising life <...> Promptness is taken for granted in Germany - in fact, it's almost an obsession. If there is a chance you'll be late for an appointment, telephone ahead. The Germans want to know where their expected visitors are at all times; not knowing where to reach a visitor violates the German sense of order."

This is an intercultural project for students to practise their IELTS skills (describing graphs, writing business letters) in a practical and authentic way.
In this project the students are given an opportunity to practise intercultural communication skills in an authentic way. They get a chance to use the language in a more meaningful way and get preparation for the language usage in the real world. At the same time they practise for the test. The project is based on role playing activities.
