Summary/Abstract: The contribution focuses on the teaching of LSP (Language for Special Purposes) and professional communication for foreign-language students in German studies. It aims to justify the importance of acquiring knowledge about the formal and functional characteristics of German for special purposes (GSP) at the levels of vocabulary, grammar, and text as a crucial goal in supporting the education of students in foreign language philology. It introduces an academic course titled “German in Professional Communication” implemented at the Institute of German Studies at the University of Wroclaw (Poland), with the aim of enhancing the attractiveness of the predominantly classical philology study program. The article highlights the motivation, underlying assumptions, and objectives behind the introduction of this new course. Additionally, it retrospectively reflects on the views of students involved in the course over the past four years.
