HERZLICH WILLKOMMEN!
We will hold an optional, synchronous meeting over Zoom (join through the course Zoom link) on Wednesday September 2nd during our usual meeting time from 8.10-9.00 AM. We will do some introductions and go over course logistics. Please see the email to registered students from 29.8.20 under ,,Kurs Info" for further information about this meeting and the course.
Description: Within the multi-lingual entity of the European Union German speakers represent the largest group. German is an official language of Germany, Austria, Belgium, and Switzerland (which is not a member of the European Union).
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, 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, and social life. 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 identify products and practices to understand different cultural perspectives.
Prerequisites: No prior knowledge of German required
