COURSE DESCRIPTION/KURSBESCHREIBUNG: 

This course is designed for students with no previous knowledge of German and will provide them with ample training across all modes of communication to develop their language competence in speaking, reading, listening, and writing. This course will cover an overview of German grammar and vocabulary that will allow students to talk about themselves and a variety of familiar and everyday topics, hold basic conversations, and describe events in the past. Furthermore, students will thematically explore aspects of contemporary life in German-speaking cultures such as study at German universities, family life, food, cities, social life, and multiculturalism. Additionally, students will build and develop strategies for consuming and gathering information from authentic German-language media such as newspapers, short literary texts, film clips, and other audiovisual materials. Through a diverse selection of thematic texts and activities, this course also aims to build each student's intercultural competence by helping them to understand different cultural perspectives underlying different products and practices from German-speaking regions affecting everyday life.
