Homework: designated exercises to be prepared in writing.  \nStep 2: Review of above; sentence-building drills, making use of cognate items and synonym/antonym pairs; practice giving definitions of new terms. Homework: write out designated exercises. Study new vocabulary and maintain running inventory of same.  \nStep 3: Review of above; vocabulary quiz (15 min. ); clarification of specific grammatical aspects of the business language specimen under review. Homework: write out designated exercises.  \nStep 4: Practice in composing business letters. Homework: compose a brief business letter in German. Ideally, vocabulary and information gleaned from DWA should be applied.  \nStep 5: Review of techniques of composing business letters, coordinated with presentation/discussion of letters written as homework assignment;  \nvocabulary quiz (15 min. ); general review of exercises in DWA. Homework: prepare for quiz on material covered in Steps 1-5.  \nStep 6: Brief review (10 min.) before quiz (40 min. ) . Homework: begin reading next article in DWA .  \nEXPECTED STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:  \nUpon completion of GR 353 , it is expected, in conjunction with the objectives given in the Course Objectives and Assessment table, that students will:  \n􀂾 have a command of the vocabulary, business issues and language structures involved in DWA, and will be able to apply this knowledge in conversation and in composing business letters in German. Upon completion of GR 353 , it is expected that students will be performing at ACTFL Level Intermediate-High (ACTFL = American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. The guidelines this organization has developed for measuring language competency have been adopted by academic, governmental, and commercial institutions involved in foreign language instruction. For more information please consult [www.actfl.org](www.actfl.org) ) . As regards the targeted four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, this proficiency level reflects competency as follows:  \n􀁸 Listening:  \nAble to sustain understanding over longer stretches of connected discourse on a number of topics pertaining to different times and places; however, understanding is inconsistent due to failure to grasp main ideas and/or details. Thus, while topics do not differ significantly from those of an Advanced level listener, comprehension is less in quantity and poorer in quality.  \n􀁸 Speaking:  \nAble to handle successfully most uncomplicated communicative tasks and social situations. Can initiate, sustain, and close a general conversation with a number of strategies appropriate to a range of circumstances and topics, but errors are evident.  \nLimited vocabulary still necessitates hesitation and may bring about slightly unexpected circumlocution. There is emerging evidence of connected discourse, particularly for simple narration and/or description. The Intermediate-High speaker can generally be understood even by interlocutors not accustomed to dealing with speakers at this level, but repetition may still be required.  \n􀁸 Reading:  \nAble to read consistently with full understanding simple connected texts dealing with basic personal and social needs about which the reader has personal interest and/or knowledge.
