Advanced German

Catalog description

Advanced German is an advanced course, which aims to expand the oral and written communication skills acquired in earlier classes and to broaden students’ understanding of the cultures of the German-speaking world, including the German communities in the United States. German III includes a complete review of basic and intermediate level grammar, expansion of pronominal constructions, discourse connectors, and a range of conversational strategies. With emphasis on various writing tasks students expand their range and sophistication of grammar usage and vocabulary. Students build comprehension and produce texts of greater extension and complexity. This course prepares students for German-taught cultural courses through literary texts and other media (film, news, short essays, cartoons, etc.).
