Overview
Building on GM 1032, this course consists of language classes dealing with advanced aspects of German and with the analysis of contemporary texts drawn from a variety of non-literary contexts together with lectures on selected social, political and cultural aspects of the contemporary German-speaking countries involving the study of texts and documents in German. The intention of the course is to extend and reinforce students’ command of German grammar, vocabulary and syntactic structures, and to introduce various styles of written and spoken German, integrating the language study with the social context.
