It is our aim to help students to converse in German and to understand written and spoken German from a wide range of sources and media e.g. the internet, podcasts, newspapers and magazine articles, television and radio. We want to foster first hand contact with the people and culture of German speaking countries and thus organise visits to plays, films and lectures. As it is imperative for those wishing to study a language to have some contact with the target language country, clearly an exchange or visit to Germany is of great benefit and highly recommended. The course has been designed to give students a profound understanding of German. Not only will they develop their grammar and vocabulary but also their understanding of how people live and use language on a day-to-day basis, with a focus on how German society has been shaped, socially and culturally, and how it continues to change. Key topics are social issues and trends, aspects of german-speaking society, artistic culture and aspects of political life in the german-speaking world. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to study literary texts and films in the target language in order to broaden their cultural knowledge and understanding. The course is assessed by examinations in listening, speaking, reading and writing.
