Advanced German: 301-302
The purpose of this course is to refine and crystallize those language
skills begun and partially perfected during the first four semesters
and to ensure that students enrolling in more advanced courses requiring
a great deal of reading, writing, and speaking in German will be
equipped to do the work without difficulty.
Emphasis during the first semester will be placed on a thorough
grammar review and close analysis of German sentence structure,
leading to the translation into correct and effective English of
German texts of increasing difficulty. This will be followed by
an introduction into theme writing, beginning with guided composition
and then moving to theme writing in German without assistance from
the instructor.
Upon this sound knowledge of German grammar, the second semester
course will ensure a complete familiarity with the 1800 word frequency
list and will stress increasing ability to express oneself orally.
Language laboratory work will be required for a minimum of one hour
per week. Three hours.
