Deutsch am Arbeitsplatz Pluspunkte Beruf A2-B1+
Deutsch am Arbeitsplatz Pluspunkte Beruf A2-B1+ is a workplace-German course book from the Pluspunkt Deutsch family, spanning A2 to strong B1 (B1+): German for working life — for learners who need the language not for the classroom, but for the job.
Between A2 and B1+, working life begins: the first applications, the safety briefing, the rota, the customer at the counter and the colleague at the machine. This book teaches the German of those moments — practical, polite, and exactly pitched between elementary and independent use.
It is made for learners entering German-speaking workplaces, Berufssprachkurs and integration-course participants, and teachers of job-related German.
The Pluspunkt Deutsch series is Cornelsen’s long-running answer for learners building a life in Germany, and its Beruf volume turns the course toward work. Units follow the working biography: looking for work (Stellenanzeigen, Bewerbung, Lebenslauf), starting (Arbeitsvertrag, Einarbeitung, Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz), and the daily round — Dienstpläne, Krankmeldung, team talk, telephone and email basics, customer contact, and the forms and notices that paper German workplaces. The level span A2–B1+ is deliberate: learners arrive at different points, and the book’s graded tasks (with the ‘+’ extensions pushing toward full B1 independence) let one class — or one self-learner — grow inside a single volume. Language work is embedded in the tasks: polite requests for the workshop floor and the office alike, Konjunktiv II softeners, instructions in the passive, and the fixed phrases of German professional politeness. Cultural practice is taught as content: punctuality, direct feedback, written confirmation — the unwritten curriculum of German employment. For Berufssprachkurs teachers it slots as the workplace strand beside a general coursebook; for job-seekers it is the closest thing to a rehearsal for the first German job.

About This Book
This is a workplace-German course book (Pluspunkt Deutsch family) for A2 to B1+: job search and applications, starting work, daily workplace communication, forms and professional politeness — graded tasks reaching toward B1 independence.
What Learners Will Practise
Finding and Starting Work
Job ads, applications, CVs, contracts and induction — the German of getting hired and getting started.
The Working Day
Rotas, sick notes, instructions, safety language, team communication and customer contact — the recurring texts and talks of employment.
Professional Register
Polite requests, telephone and email formulas, and the fixed phrases of German workplace courtesy at A2–B1+.
Key Features
The working-biography structure is the feature — the book follows the job, not the grammar syllabus. The A2–B1+ span with graded ‘+’ tasks is the second: one volume for a whole class’s range. The culture-as-content approach is the third: how German workplaces communicate, taught explicitly.
Who This Book Is For
It is for A2–B1+ learners entering German-speaking employment, Berufssprachkurs and Integrationskurs participants, and teachers of job-related German (berufsbezogenes Deutsch).
How to Use This Book
Work in order — the biography builds. Personalise every document (your CV, your applications) as the units arrive; the book’s output should be a real job-search folder. Practise the spoken formulas aloud in pairs or alone: the first week at work is a speaking exam nobody announces.
