DigidaZu - a Portal for Learning the German Language in a Business Digital Environment

Keywords:
Learning German, English for Specific Purposes, Business German Language, Digital Environment

Abstract:
In the digital age, the age of using smartphones and the Internet in learning and acquiring foreign languages, the digidaZu application represents another tool for a completely new and creative way of learning German. Along with other tools such as Hello Talk, Duolingo, WordUp, Kahoot, and the Easy German language learning channel, this platform does not represent a complete innovation. On the other hand, what sets this application apart from others is that the language it teaches is the language of profession, i.e. Business German. As an example, exercises are tailored to the language of the office (scheduling appointments, ordering goods, entering data into Excel spreadsheets, business phone calls, codes, office supplies...). The research was conducted to explore students' attitudes towards this very useful portal, what its advantages and disadvantages are and what could be improved and upgraded on this platform, as its development is still ongoing.
