Summary/Abstract: Routine formulas represent an essential challenge for foreign language teaching as a compound of typical communicative situations due to speech acts (in maintaining new and old business contacts, expressing emotions, and discourse organization), and as an important element of pragmatic language competence. The main subject of the reflection is the selection and presentation of formulaic expressions in selected course books for business German as a foreign language which are used in the academic context. In particular, the fields of business correspondence, business phone calls, and other common communicative situations were analyzed, as well as exercises and other didactic activities aimed at developing business foreign language skills.
