Summary: | The paper "Es ist vieles getan, es bleibt vieles zu tun." ("We have achieved a lot, there is still a lot to achieve.") presents a method for integrating a digital corpus into a German teaching-learning scenario. Designed for learners enrolled in the second year of LSP (Languages for Specific Purposes), specialising in management and administration, this scenario aims at the individual production of a talk such as those that company directors address at the end of the year to their employees to take stock, to evoke future developments, and to congratulate and encourage them. Readers will find a range of corpus exploration and language observation activities motivated by the discursive characteristics of end-of-year talks and the learning needs of B1/B2 level German learners.
