Description

INTRODUCTORY GERMAN is a full year subject, divided into two semesters (Introductory German A and Introductory German B). It is an elementary level German language course for students with no prior knowledge of the language. Base on a communicative and task-based approach, it is designed to develop proficiency in oral and written communication skills and to provide students with knowledge and understanding of the societies and culture of German-speaking countries. Students develop their listening and speaking skills through a number of different activities, as well as their reading and writing skills in German. Vocabulary and grammatical structures are presented in the context of culturally relevant issues. Topics include communication, travel, personal information, cultural activities as well as national and international concerns. A lecture on basic grammatical and linguistic features and on the history of modern Germany (in English) will complement the exercises and discussions conducted as target language activities in class.

On completion of ARTS1510 and ARTS1511 students will be able to enrol in upper level German Studies courses.
