Students will have the opportunity to practice listening, reading, writing, and speaking in German through online activities and homework assignments.  \nThe program of the course corresponds to the sublevel A1 .1 (first half) of Level A1 (Elementary) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), a widely accepted European standard for language proficiency.  \nBy the end of the course, students will be able to:  \n• talk about themselves, their families, and their origins  \n• order food and drinks in a restaurant or a café  \n• discuss different living situations, talk about houses, rooms, etc.  \n• talk about their time and make appointments  \n• orient themselves in a German-speaking urban setting and ask for directions  \n• talk about some major landmarks and places of interest of the German-speaking countries.  \nBy the end of Elementary German II (A1) students will be able to:  \n• understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type  \n• introduce themselves and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people they know and things they have  \n• interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.  \nThe course is taught in German with some explanation of grammar points in English.  \nCourse Delivery Format  \nThis course is delivered in a hybrid format, which is different from either a traditional classroom-based course or a fully online course. Instead of meeting in-class three times per week for 80 minutes each class, students will meet twice per week (on Mondaysand Tuesdays) and complete significant work in the Canvas learning management system (see below) .  \nThis course also follows a“flipped classroom” approach to learning. This means that students are expected to learn the vocabulary for each class session before it is activated in in-class activities. This allows optimal use of the class time for productive and engaging activities for a more enriching learning experience for students.  \nStudy Materials  \nMain Textbook • Required  \nHermann Funk and Christina Kuhn.
