GERM1006 German II (3 units)
- Prerequisite:
- GERM1005 German I or equivalent
- Medium of Instruction:
- German
This is a continuation of German I. The course will introduce the German language and culture relating to travelling and work. Students will learn to communicate effectively in everyday situations such as travelling and shopping, finding jobs, and consulting doctors. An integrated approach to language skills will be adopted, and materials and activities that are relevant to travelling or studying in Germany will be presented in context. They will encounter relatively more difficult texts and be able to express themselves in more complex structures. The course also helps students develop their critical thinking through in-class discussions about cultural issues such as jobs, leisure time and environmental protection. The aim is for students to reach level A1.2 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
