Instructor: Cheri Micheau

Dates: February 3 – April 7 (no class March 3)

Time: 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

This course is geared toward intermediate and advanced German students. Current events in German-speaking countries (political, cultural, environmental, artistic, economic, etc.) will be covered to create a backdrop to the continuing study of the German language. Connections between current issues and historical events (the topic of previous semesters) will be made. Grammar review, vocabulary expansion, public speaking, accuracy in listening comprehension, and building fluency are the goals for this class. Participants will be involved in presenting short reports and in helping classmates review difficult language features. Students may work in pairs or small groups on some classroom tasks. The ever-popular homework assignments allow students to review and automatize their language skills. 

Maximum: 25

Notes

Why when I’m registering do I join the Wait List?
Several of our courses are in high demand. In order to accommodate our members who are not tech-savvy and have trouble registering online, we created a registration system in which there is no advantage to registering early, no disadvantage to registering later.

When registering, you join the Wait List for each course. Don’t be alarmed. This does not mean the course is full. After the registration period is over, we run a lottery on the courses, and it randomly determines who is admitted to each course and who is not. You typically will receive notification regarding which courses you are admitted to, about two weeks before the start of the semester. If a course accepts 50 or more students, you are very likely to get into it.
