Pre-requisite: GERM 1114 or 2 years of High School German. COURSE OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to - use basic German syntactical structures to make statements about everyday issues, desires, or conversational topics in comprehensible, if not perfect German; - read and contextualize texts of everyday communication and direction, such as menus, titles, and letters; write brief compositions, typical of classroom exposition, with grammatical accuracy commensurate with the topics covered; and - understand prepared spoken German and recognize elements of authentic speech from the target cultures. This course is part of a four-semester sequence. The first two semesters cover the
material of a first year college textbook. The third and fourth semesters deepen communication skills and improve proficiency (correct usage) by building vocabulary and reviewing grammar, and add to students' knowledge of German-speaking cultures through readings, films, and web sites. TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING: This course pays particular attention to two of the central six goals: Discipline knowledge (linguistic and communicative command of single German grammar skills, vocabulary, cultural knowledge) and global competency (rudimentary command of a second language, cultural comparison, cultural exploration, and the demonstrated ability to communicate orally in the target language. CHAPTER TESTS: Each test covers the thematic, grammar, and vocabulary material from its chapter. The tests blend communicative tasks with questions focusing on the mastery of linguistic and cultural concepts and practices. The workbook and the website have pretests which give you an idea of where you stand. The chapter tests include writing, listening, and reading elements. VOCABULARY QUIZES: Each quiz covers an assigned portion of the chapter vocabulary. Students are expected to write out the correct German expression in the correct grammatical form. WORKBOOK/HOMEWORK: For each chapter I will check the online Arbeitsheft or Lab/workbook. Learning a language takes practice and these books provide reliable opportunities for intensifying what we ve done in class and preparing for the upcoming activities. Check the chapter assignment sheets for suggestions on which exercises to do. In any case, you must complete these materials by the day of the chapter test ORAL PRESENTATION: You will be speaking German in class, but at the end of this semester you will give an oral presentation about a specific topic assigned by your professor for conversation skills. The topics discussed mirror the vocabulary, themes and issues covered in class, and I am not listening for perfection, but rather for communicative success. TUTORS: UCO uses your course fees to pay for a German tutor to help you with this course. The tutor is a student and works from LA 122 with access to Quia WebCT, dictionaries, and other resources. The tutor cannot do the work for you, but is able to drill vocabulary, explain grammar, practice dialogues, and talk about learning German. CULTURE CREDITS: The organized engagement with another culture will probably endure for you longer than your language skills. By viewing a movie (the department and the College show several), seeing a play, reading a magazine, or listening to music, you gain access to the cultural, aesthetic, political, religious and educational diversity of the world. Share a film or a play, or a museum with fellow students. You ll at least save on gas money. CLASS ATTENDANCE: (departmental policy) Regular class attendance is necessary if you want to learn a new language. To encourage attendance, your instructor will deduct 1% point per absence after two and a half (2 ½) absences (1% point = 10 points on the 1000 point system above). Late arrivals and early departures accumulates to an absent. Thirty minutes late or early leave count as an absence. MAKING UP EXAMS: Exams and quizzes occur frequently in this course in order for you to pace yourself as you learn a large number of new words, grammar structures and cultural concepts. Falling behind by missing tests makes it harder for you to succeed. So, if you know you must miss an exam or quiz, you must talk to your instructor or leave a message BEFORE the test with your name and phone number at 401-3385 to arrange a make-up date. Otherwise your instructor is under no obligation to give you a make-up exam or quiz and it will result in a zero (no exceptions!!!!)

The DSS Office is located in the University Center, Room 415. Students should also notify the instructor of special accommodation needs by the end of the first week of class." WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COURSE: You must officially withdraw from a course to receive a W rather than an F. The deadline is April 5, 213. If you withdraw by January 25, 2013; there will be no record of your attempting this class. Otherwise you will receive a notation or a grade, even if you attended only a few days of class. INCOMPLETES: (departmental policy) A grade of I for incomplete work will only be given in the case of a verified emergency or personal need for a student who has been present for at least 50% of the total class periods and who has completed at least 50% of the class assignments. Please speak with your instructor about such a situation in a timely fashion.
