'Was hast du heute gelernt?', or what did you learn today?: students' beliefs about the contents of communicative classes of german as a foreign language

The purpose of this article is to analyze the results of a survey conducted with students of two courses of German as a foreign language. The research is part of the theoretical studies of students' beliefs. The goal is to emphasize the perception of students about the curriculum of attended classes - and, above all, values and weights which they deposit on each element that includes a foreign language class: on the one hand, what importance is attributed to the activities related to the development of the "four skills" (reading, writing, speaking and listening), and on the other hand on the work with grammar, vocabulary and aspects of the inter and transculturality.
