GERM 10.00 Intermediate German Language and Culture: Contemporary Germany (in German)

German 10.00 is an intermediate-level German Studies course designed to consolidate and expand the cultural and linguistic proficiencies gained in German 1–3 or equivalent training. The course focuses on society and culture in contemporary Germany but also addresses those key moments since 1945 that have made the country what it is today. Using methods of historical inquiry and social observation and analysis, the course introduces students to Germany’s emergence and existence as a multicultural society and a pivotal actor in Europe and the world. Through predominantly short readings and viewings, students work on improving oral expression and writing, with emphasis on the expansion of vocabulary and the reinforcement of grammatical structures. Classroom interaction are entirely in German, since input and interaction are the engines of second language acquisition and help students get to know each other and build a community.
