It is designed to build a firm foundation in the language by focusing on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and speech patterns. Repetition and creativity are essential in language study, and this course is planned and organized to supply both. Students will encounter and work on mastering beginning communication skills in German and will also acquire an understanding of, and respect for, cultural differences. Acquiring a foreign language is learning a new skill, and this requires practice to become proficient. The main emphasis will be on classroom interaction, so students are urged to attend class at all times, to be on time, and to be prepared.  \nStudent Learning Outcomes:  \nUpon successful completion of this course students will:  \n1) Engage in conversations using level-appropriate grammatical structures including narrating events that take place in the present and producing questions and responses on a variety of topics dealing with everyday life.  \n2) Understand level-appropriate spoken German.  \n3) Write simple sentences and organize them into paragraphs.  \n4) Read and comprehend level-appropriate texts.  \n5) Identify and discuss traditions, customs and values of the German world, and compare and contrast them with characteristics of their own culture.  \nRequired Textbooks and Materials  \nSevin & Sevin, Wie Geht’s 10th ed., which includes an audio-CD  \nSuggested Course Material  \nSevin & Sevin, Arbeitsbuch Wie Geht’s, a lab manual/workbook Sevin & Sevin, Lab CDs (also available in the bookstores)  \nSevin & Sevin, Multimedia CD-Rom (available at OFF Campus Books) Additional [exercises on](exercises on www.wiegehts.heinle.com)[ ](exercises on www.wiegehts.heinle.com)[www.wiegehts.heinle.com](exercises on www.wiegehts.heinle.com)  \nA German dictionary ([www.beolingus.de](www.beolingus.de)) Course Syllabus: Beginning  \nGerman I Page 1  \nAssignments & Dates WG = Wie Geht’s  \nAB= Arbeitsblatt  \nDate Assignments  \nM Aug 20  \nW Aug 22  \nM Aug 27  \nW Aug 29  \nM Sept 3  \nW Sept 5  \nM Sept 10  \nW Sept 12  \nIntroduction  \nSchritte (Steps) 1: pp. 4-7  \nSchritt 2: pp. 7-16  \nSchritt 3: pp. 12-16  \nSchritte 4: pp. 17-21  \nLabor Day  \nSchritt 5: pp. 21-26  \nExpert Group 1: Spotlight on Germany  \nKapitel 1: pp. 30-36  \nVoc ab Quiz: Wortschatz Schritte 1-5  \nKapitel 1: pp. 37-44  \nAB: Das Alphabet, Wortschatz Dialoge  \nAB: Das Alphabet, Wortshatz,  \nDialoge  \nWortschatz, Zahlen AB: Sein, Genders, Plural  \nWG: Wortschatz (pp. 18, 22,23)  \nAB: Das Verb Haben  \nWortscharz, Die Uhrzeit  \nAB: Sein, Pronouns, Questions  \nWG: Wortschatz 1 (pp. 33)  \nWG: Read Gespräche (p.32) Übung A  \nWG: Read/Do (pp. 40-41)Übungen B, C, p. 39  \nM Sept 17 Kapitel 1: pp. 40-42  \nExpert Group 2: German Family Traditions  \nWG: Read/Do (pp. 40-41) Schreiben Sie 10 Sätze zum Thema\"Meine Familie\".  \nAB: The Ptesent Tense  \nW Sept 19 Kapitel 1: pp. 43-53  \nVocab Quiz: Kapitel 1  \nWG: Wortschatz 2 (p. 48) WG: Read/Do (p. 49) A  \nAB: Word Order  \nM Sept 24  \nW Sept 26  \nM Oct 1  \nW Oct 3  \nM Oct 8  \nW Oct 10  \nM Oct 15  \nW Oct 17  \nKapitel 2 pp. 56-68 Expert Group 3: German Meals and Customs  \nKapitel 2: pp. 62-66  \nKapitel 2: pp. 68-73  \nExpert Group 4: Shopping  \nKapitel 2: pp. 74-81  \nVoc ab Quiz (Kapitel 2)  \nMidterm Review:  \nSchritte 1-5, Kapitel 1-2  \nMIDTERM (Schritte 1-5, Kapitel 1-2)  \nKapitel 3: pp. 86-91  \nKapitel 3: pp. 89-95  \nExpert Group 1: Eating Out in Germany  \nWG: Wortschatz 1 (pp. 59)  \nAB: Compound Nouns, Word Order  \nWG: Re","cbCaioDTV9crtbsw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioDTV9crtbsw","pdf",211712,11,"English","# Course Information\n## Course Description and Student Learning Outcomes\n## Required Textbooks and Materials\n## Assignments and Dates\n## Course Policies","[{\"question\":\"What language skills does Beginning German I aim to develop?\",\"answer\":\"The course focuses on speaking, reading, and writing German, building grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and speech patterns.
