Description

This is the second of two advanced German language courses. It aims at improving the students' all-round knowledge of contemporary German including knowledge of stylistic and regional variation. In addition students' reading and writing skills will be enhanced through work on a fictional text.

This is an online course. You will join the on-campus cohort in their regular hours via zoom. The course has 3 contact hours per week (1x 2 hours + 1x 1 hour class) and it is important that you join for as many as you can, as languages require active engagement to reach the best learning outcome. As an additional option for distance students (who might have chosen this form for its increased flexibility or in case of technical difficulties) the lectures will be recorded and can be viewed in your own time.

If you have any questions about the structure of the course, please contact the course coordinator.
