Sommer, Sonne, Reading & Writing!

Willkommen to our Summer Classes 2023! While the sun tickles your endorphines out of their shell, learning German will enhance your mood even further. Dive into the rich German culture and the quirky little ins and outs that this language provides.

Class Description

In this 6 week hybrid reading and writing class, we will focus on reading and writing in a gated asynchronous setting, meaning that you will receive your assignments via google classroom, and work on it when it is convenient for you, but will turn in your assignments by a weekly deadline. We will also meet twice in-person (if you cannot be there in person, you can join virtually).

The readings examine contemporary topics of daily life in the German speaking countries, such as politics, literature, sports, music, etc. Each week, students will work on a written response to the assigned readings, express their own views and ideas on the topic and will also be introduced to a more structured way of writing. Students will receive feedback on their writing with a focus on content as well as on grammar, style, and complexity of sentences with the aim to improve their German writing skills overall.

Meeting TImes

We will meet once at the beginning of the class to get to know each other, and to explain the course. You will be able to join this first session virtually as well.

PREREQUISITES
