Come study German! German 1001 is part of a proficiency-based program, emphasizing building skills so that you can use the language confidently and accurately in a variety of situations. This course focuses on your development of interpersonal speaking and listening skills, interpretive reading and listening skills, and presentational speaking and writing skills while working on an introduction to the cultures of the German-speaking world. The textbook, Vorsprüng, is accompanied by an online workbook (iLrn). Most of class time is spent working in pairs and small groups on a variety of activities.

Class Description:
Interested in learning the language spoken by the country with the world's fourth largest economy, a global leader in both business and engineering? Want to learn more about the rich culture and fascinating histories of German-speaking countries? The lands of fairytales, Beethoven and Goethe, beer gardens, and hiking galore? Come study German! German 1001 is part of a proficiency-based program, emphasizing building skills so that you can use the language confidently and accurately in a variety of situations. This course focuses on your development of interpersonal speaking and listening skills, interpretive reading and listening skills, and presentational speaking and writing skills while working on an introduction to the cultures of the German-speaking world. The textbook, Vorsprung, is accompanied by an online workbook (iLrn). Most of class time is spent working in pairs and small groups on a variety of activities. Since the majority of class time is devoted to speaking and listening in German, class attendance is critical. Expect an average of 1.5 hours of outside preparation for each class session hour. This course is intended for students with NO previous study of German, or students who have not studied German in recent years (gap of 3 years or more). If you have more than two years of high school German completed within the last year or two, you should either register for GER 1022 which provides students with an accelerated review of GER 1001 material followed by material covered in GER 1002 or take the Entrance Proficiency Test for placement into second-year German. For further information on placement, please see your advisor or contact the Department of German, Scandinavian, and Dutch.

Class Description:
German 1001 is intended for beginners and introduces students to the four language skills areas: speaking, writing, listening, and reading. Homework assignments become the basis for student-to-student interaction, small group work and role-play in class. The text for the course, Wende, covers speaking and writing in daily contemporary issues and stresses reading and listening strategies useful in language learning. Along with this textbook we use a German cultural reader called Oktoberfest, a mystery which takes place in Munich, and grammar reference materials. Students will also complete a variety of writing activities, including essays. First-year language courses involve extensive student interaction, partner activities, and group work. Expect an average of 1.5 hours of outside preparation for each class session hour.
