Course Summary

Continue to develop German language skills by exploring a range of topics, such as education, planning for the future, diversity, feelings and value systems, historical and economic influences, and cultural expressions. Students build language competency by delving into a variety of topics including school systems, careers, identities, workplace behaviors, artists, values, cultural diversity, emotions, advertising, pets and their care, and much more. In this course, students participate in technology-assisted interactive sessions throughout the term, engaging in spontaneous discussions in German alongside prompt instructor support and feedback.

This class is taught almost entirely in German.

Curriculum

This is a two-semester course. Each semester requires a commitment of approximately 70 or more hours of coursework. While students may enroll in both semesters within the same term, UC Scout does not recommend this due to the intensive workload, especially during shorter terms like summer.
