Summary/Abstract: Digital communication opens up new possibilities for contemporary, action-oriented teaching in German as a Foreign Language, confronting it with further challenges and focusing on less-treated topics. The new descriptors for interactive online communication, developed due to the extension of the CEFR (2018), born of the need to respond to a changing reality, have a creative and motivating effect on the actual language training. In order to make the GFL lessons for medical practitioners as realistic as possible, the development of tailored exercise types for interactive online communication is necessary. Future physicians should be prepared for the doctor-patient interaction and other similar situations not only in the virtual examination room, but also during their general language training.
