Are you a student in German Studies, International Business and Management or International Relations? If you expect to work in a business environment in which German is used, or if you are simply interested in German business, commerce, and economics, then this is the course for you! You will be introduced to different aspects of the German business world and learn the language and discourse used in German business and economics. You will become familiar with German business transactions and correspondence, explore the internet, and learn how to read and interpret charts and statistics. We will develop comprehension techniques through readings and exercises in the textbook, and we will further practice them through the exposure to news broadcasts, newspaper articles, and other pertinent publications. Students who successfully complete this course can enroll in German 3022, Advanced Business German, a course that is designed to prepare students for the Zertifikat Deutsch fur den Beruf.
