Course Description:
German 211 is the continuation of German 210, an intermediate German
course for students who have completed two semesters of college German.
In German 211 we will practice the four language skills of reading, speaking,
listening, and writing. More specifically, we will work on the following
this semester:
-
Writing a short essay every week which I will mark up and return to you.
You can rewrite each essay and resubmit it in order to improve your work
and you can choose to include each essay in your portfolio.
-
Establishing a portfolio which reflects you progress in the class. You
can include what ever you choose in this portfolio. I will collect it four
times during the semester (at the end of week 3, 6, 9, and at the end of
the semester) and each time you need to include three pieces of written
work and one cassette with oral work you did. For each piece of work you
need to write a short critical paragraph explaining why you included a
certain piece of work in the portfolio and how it reflects the progress
you made in German 211. I will return the portfolio to you with comments.
-
Listening to German news broadcast on the internet twice during the semester
together with a partner. You are responsible for listening to and understanding
the news, selecting three important pieces of news from that week, and
giving a presentation to your fellow students on Monday mornings.
-
Nachrichtenprojekt:: during the last three weeks of the semester we will
be producing our own German news show which we will videotape. You will
work with two other students on producing one segment of the news show
that the class will put together as a project for this course.
-
Grammar Review: just as last semester there will be a short grammar and
vocabulary quiz at the end of each grammar chapter (about every two weeks).
Requirements:
|
Regular class attendance and attendance of the conversation hour (more
than 3 unexcused absences will lower your grade by one half grade). If
you have to miss a class because of sickness or another serious reason,
call me or send me an e-mail before class. |
|
Active participation in class discussions; 25% of your grade is based on
your oral performance. A short presentation of what was new in Germany
during the last week together with a partner, twice during the semester. |
|
Diligent preparation for all classes and faithful completion of all written
work. |
|
A short essay every week (to be turned in on every Monday) which you may
rewrite after I have marked it up. You may include any of your essays in
your portfolio if you so choose. |
|
There will be a short quiz after every chapter on grammatical structures
and vocabulary items, 1 midterm, and 1 final examination. |
