GERM 3
Elementary German (Third Quarter)

---

Course Description

This course expands on the material presented in GERM D001. and GERM D002. and completes the introduction to the language and cultures of German-speaking countries. Basic speaking, listening, reading and writing of German will be practiced within a cultural framework. Emphasis will be on language as an expression of culture with language laboratory practice to reinforce pronunciation, grammar, and syntax.

Student Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate a somewhat consistent working command of essential vocabulary and language structures necessary to communicate in real-life contexts and to request and provide, orally and in writing, a more complex/abstract range of information relating to high-frequency situations in familiar contexts.
• Derive meaning from longer, simple texts of various genres on familiar topics, relying on contextual clues to extract main ideas and supporting details.
• Compose comprehensible, more complex sentences about familiar topics and individual viewpoints to reflect a somewhat consistent working command of core vocabulary and language structures.
• Demonstrate an increasing ability to reflect on cultural products, practices, and perspectives of the German-speaking world, leading to the development of cultural sensitivity.
