27 Sep '11

Dear International Researcher, Starting early in October 2011, the International Office, in collaboration with the RWTH Language Center, will offer a German language course for beginners which is mainly targeted at the accompanying (female) partners of visiting researchers and doctoral students. The course, for which a childcare service will be provided, is aimed at this female group as experience has shown that partners of visiting researchers typically lack the opportunities and organisational support quickly to find their way in their new city and at the university. Kindly find further information given below and if your spouse is interested in participating please let me know, then I will be sending you the registration form, immediately. Yours sincerely, Andrea Porten (Ms) Andrea Porten RWTH Aachen University Dezernat 2.0 - International Office, Fundraising and Alumni Abt. 2.2 - Betreuung / Div. 2.2 - International Student and Scholar Services Templergraben 57, Raum 326 52062 Aachen, Germany Tel: +49 (0)241 80 90661 Fax: + 49 (0)241 80 92662 E-Mail: andrea.porten(a)zhv.rwth-aachen.de <mailto:britta.piel@zhv.rwth-aachen.de> www.rwth-aachen.de/internationales Everyday Communication in German – German Language Course for Women __________________________________________________________________ Who?
