This course is intensive and is intended for dedicated, highly self-motivated students who will take responsibility for their learning and creation of meaning with their peers. In comparison to the semi-intensive course, you will indeed work with the same materials and textbook. However, you will be able to improve your German competence, expand your vocabulary and deepen your overall knowledge of German much faster.
This course is designed to improve your writing and speaking competence in German, to increase your vocabulary, and to help you develop effective reading and listening strategies. One of the foci is the development of self-correction in oral and written production. Our in-class discussions are based on weekly readings of literary and non-literary texts to facilitate exchange of information, ideas, reactions, and opinions. In addition, the readings provide cultural and historical background information. The review of grammar will not be the primary focus of the course. You will, however, expand and deepen your knowledge of grammar through specific grammar exercises. The course may offer a film component and may conclude with a short story.TextbookBegegnungen.
