Course Catalog Information (24-25)
GERM 4
Intermediate German (First Quarter)
Course Description
This course develops students' reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills at the first intermediate level. Reading and discussion of texts dealing with the literature, arts, history, geography and culture of the German-speaking world are included in the course, as well as a review and expansion of the linguistic functions and grammar structures of first-year German.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate an increasingly consistent command of essential vocabulary and language structures necessary to request and provide, orally and in writing, an expanding range of somewhat sophisticated information.
- Derive meaning from longer texts of increasing complexity - relying less on contextual clues - to extract main ideas and supporting details, and to interpret some subtleties of the text.
- Compose comprehensible, paragraph-level discourse about familiar topics to reflect an increasingly consistent command of vocabulary and language structures.
- Demonstrate an increasingly accurate grasp of the subtleties of German-speaking cultures and progressively develop cultural sensitivity, by analyzing and comparing these cultures to one's own cultures.
