The primary goal of intermediate
German (German 102) is twofold: students will develop and
refine basic German language skills while learning about
German literature, culture, and history. Students will
work with a variety of materials (video, film, audio material,
cultural readings and literary short stories) to insure
exposure to different styles of written and spoken language.
Reading, writing, listening and speaking is practiced during
the year. However, each quarter, a different skill is emphasized
and practiced. Students who lack some of the basic knowledge
or simply have forgotten some German over the summer, wil
be able to review all important German grammar points with
the help of an online grammar program.
Students in Intermediate German
get to meet Bauer Gischow who tells a compelling
story about the loss of his farm to the former East German
government as well as many other citizens of a small former
East German town.

Ja, so war es, so war
es, ich erzähl hier die Wahrheit. Das durfte ich
während der anderen Zeit alles gar nicht erzählen,
ne? Wenn das einer gehört hätte, hätt'
er mich angezeigt, dann hätten sie mich abgeholt
- dann wär' ich auch weg vom Fenster
gewesen. So war es.
