This course is designed for students who have successfully completed German 2 or its equivalent (1–2 years of high school German—in the recent past). Its goal is to further the knowledge of the German language and culture that students gained in German 2. In this course as well, emphasis is placed on mastering beginning-level competence in the four basic skills: speaking, reading, writing, and understanding. Through group work in class, and individual work at home and in the language lab, students increase their working knowledge of pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. The cultural readings in the text and other readings supplied by the instructor further students’ knowledge of the culture of the German-speaking countries. Among the additonal readings in this course are various German fairy tales and short texts. Video material is used where appropriate to augment the topics discussed in class.
After an intial period of review and practice, the course begins with Chapter 9 in the text Deutsch: Na klar! (3rd ed.) by Di Donato et al. By the end of the quarter, we will have covered the material in Chapters 9–12 and part of Chapter 13.

German 6 is designed as
the final course in a two-year sequence, German 1-6. It is one of the student’s
first opportunities to undertake research in the original language, to read
early century classics, and to polish the skills of reading, speaking, and writing.
The text provides a broad selection of readings with major stress on the appropriate
usage of words and idiomatic expression. The course aspires to prepare students
for a smooth entry into a third year of study in German or to prepare them for
their study at universities abroad.
Students are invited to
participate in lively discussions, in oral presentations, and in three (3) short
and one (1) longer written assignment on interdisciplinary topics relevant to
the perspective of their own majors.

In Spring, German 13F, a
2-unit course, meets weekly on Wednesday early evening from 5-6:45 to converse
about a wide range of topics, many of which students will choose. The broad
topic will be Berlin—Berlin of the Golden Twenties, Berlin after 2000,
Berlin as a student destination, and Berlin as a socio-cultural locus of an
emerging and ever-changing German identity.
Preparation will be minimal:
weekly new vocabulary will be introduced, and short articles or film will
provide the basis for discussion.
Join us with your interest,
opinions, and perspectives on a world city; and get to know Berlin.
Activate or reactivate your
knowledge of German. Three quarters or equivalent required. Native speakers
are welcome!
Let’s talk about it.
