In this course, your attention is drawn outward. Themes include city life, professions and careers, and nature and the environment. In a geography unit, you’ll research a natural park in the German-speaking world and prepare a presentation for classmates. You will also learn more-complex grammatical constructions allowing you to discuss hypothetical situations. Your language skills will have developed to a point that more-complex topics and figures of the German-speaking world can be explored in the target language. From the golden age of the Enlightenment to the turbulent 20th century, the more-accessible canonical cultural and historical texts are introduced; Goethe, Beethoven, Mann, Grass, Kafka, Lang, and Klemperer can be read, written about, and placed within their historical contexts. This course will ultimately prepare you for what you will encounter at the college level.
