Outline |

This is an introductory class for German language. The main aim of this class is to build a basis for communication in German by learning basic grammar; Students will be expected to learn greeting, self-introduction, and basic daily conversation for shopping. Another aim of this class is to get to know German history and culture by learning grammar because learning a language is to understand "the way of thinking" of the people living in the country where the language is used; Students will be expected to touch upon the world view and ideas of German people, which are reflected on the language.
The class proceeds with the assigned textbook. It is desirable to attend every class since many important information which are not written in the textbook will be explained in the class. It is above all considered to be important to develop a "feeling for language," or to acquire a sense of language. Accordingly, priority is given, in this class, to acquire the sense and getting used to the grammatical structure of German rather than mere memorization. Group activities such as role playing will be incorporated in the class. It is desirable that students, as a result, get used to the German language to the extent that they remember most of the phrases while practicing. Homework and quizzes will be given to assess students' progress.
This course is designed to achieve educational goals 1, 2, and 3 of General Basic Subjects.
