Abstract:
The last few years there has been an increase in the demand for learning the German language among students of technical sciences in Serbia. Especially in intensive language courses it is necessary to find the most efficient methods of adopting materials that are suited to future engineers in electrical engineering and computing. In this paper two methods will be presented: mathematics looks like – called “grammar formulas“ and programming looks like – called “grammar coding“, which in years of practice have provided excellent results and great potential for further development and improvement. These methods are created primarily because of the specific profile of students and can also be adapted to students in other areas of professional development. The most important achievement of such methods in presenting grammatical rules, in this case of the German language, is not only the high speed by which students adopt new materials, but also the long-term sustainability of this acquired knowledge. Successful results of applying these methods have been observed already at higher level courses attended by the same participants.
