Sprachkurs

Taught in German, the "Sprachkurs" combines three advanced German language courses that aim to help students develop greater ease and sophistication in their oral and written expression in German:

• GER 211 Conversation and Writing I,

• GER 212 Conversation and Writing II, and

• GER 401 Global Issues in German,

with extra/advanced work being required for GER 212 or GER 401. This course is offered in fall and spring.

In this course, we focus on past and contemporary issues of the German-speaking world with a particular emphasis on Austrian culture and language, including travel and leisure; literature, art, and music; environmental issues and politics; and migration and multiculturalism, while training listening comprehension, oral skills, reading, and writing.
