Beginner's German I
Prerequisite(s): None
Students will develop active and creative communication skills. Focus is on oral communication in a variety
of everyday situations: narrating events in present tense, describing situations, expressing commands, making
requests, giving advice, and expressing personal preferences in German.
This course extends and solidifies communication skills acquired in GERM 101. Focus is on continued improvement
of basic oral fluency in different communicative contexts: narratives of situations and events by using all
of the major indicative past and present tenses.
Prerequisite(s): GERM 102, or instructor's permission
This course focuses on the formal acquisition of the German language. Students will expand their basic linguistic
skills through integrated and interactive practice in reading, writing, listening and speaking. The course
also promotes intercultural learning and the development of an international awareness. Students with native-speaker
backgrounds may decide to challenge this course, but may also find it useful as a more thorough grounding
in the structure of the German language.
