Class Description:

This course moves beyond the four-semester language sequence and prepares you to utilize advanced vocabulary and grammatical structures in order to understand, analyze, and communicate information in both social and academic situations. The course is broken into four units focusing on a range of topics and communicative modes, from expressing opinions and debating to analyzing short stories and TV crime dramas. In each unit we learn grammatical structures that are common for each type of text and important phrases that will help bring your German to the next level! We also read the novel, Tschick by Wolfgang Herrndorf, and watch the film.


This course is writing intensive. Throughout the course you will write three essays and each will go through an extensive feedback process. There will also be shorter writing assignments that will serve as springboards to the longer assignments. However, the course also strives to improve your speaking abilities and you will be encouraged to speak in every class. Assignments such as a class debate, collaborative dialogues, and tandem conversations will increase your German proficiency level. Instructors in this course aim to provide individualized feedback that will help you make significant gains in your German language abilities. This course will be taught in-person.
