GER 201 - Intermediate German I, 4 credit hours

Prerequisite(s): GER 102 or equivalent. Appropriate entry point for most people who have had more than two years of solid high school German. Required of all German majors and minors.
This first level of the intermediate sequence reviews the basic skills which you acquired in your elementary language study and expands upon them. Although a thorough review of all grammar is given, special attention is paid to the following difficult areas of grammar: adjective endings, past tenses, relative pronouns. The exercises are designed to increase your ability to read, write, speak and understand German. You will be given a selection of authentic reading assignments which are appropriate for your level, and which deal with topics of German-speaking culture and life in Europe. Role play, pair work and writing assignments ask for your personal, creative reaction to the readings. All class discussions, readings and written assignments are in German, but do not require an advanced level of language ability.
