Abstract
Online Business German courses – the student evaluation
The aim of this paper is to draw a fi rst conclusion from the digitised university teaching due
to the worldwide pandemic situation. For this, an explorative study with learners in the fi eld
of German as a foreign language has been used. This essentially involves synchronous
online learning in (business) German courses from level B1+. The results of the student
evaluation show that the respondents assess the online German lessons positively overall.
The clear majority of students are satisfi ed with what they have learned in the online German
course, but at the same time miss the face-to-face German lessons. In addition to the
descriptive description, there is also a statistical investigation of the relationships between
certain aspects of the quantitative questions as well as the evaluation of qualitative data.
