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 concludes with a short story and may include a film component.TextbookBegegnungen. Deutsch als Fremdsprache B1, Anne Buscha und Szilvia Szita, Schubert Verlag 2007.
