By“communicative,” we mean that you will learn to express your own ideas orally and in writing, and to develop strategies for understanding spoken and written discourse – as opposed to merely memorizing vocabulary lists and grammar rules. By “competence,” we mean that your acquisition of the language must show a high level of grammatical, lexical, and cultural accuracy. Our goal is not simply a list of rules and words, but real communication between speakers.  \nTo achieve these goals, you have to engage in as many communicative exchanges as possible. The course will give you ample opportunity to do so: in small groups or with a partner, in direct interaction with me, in listening to dialogues between other native speakers on audiovisual media, in expressing your ideas in writing, and in understanding and discussing short texts.  \n• Classroom interaction will be in German , because input and use are the chief engines of foreign language acquisition.  \n• Active and consistent classroom participation is crucial to your success at acquiring the language. A language cannot be “crammed” in. So as to get the most out of this class, you need to constantly use and practice the language.  \n• Outside the classroom , you are expected – and will need to – spend at least 12 hours per week, which corresponds to two hours each day, doing your homework, and learning and practicing your grammar and vocabulary.  \nUpon completing this course successfully, you will have reached the A1 language proficiency level, corresponding to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) that range from A1 for beginners to C2 for language skills at the highest level.  \nAttendance  \nBecause Bard College Berlin has an intensive, student-centered and seminar-based educational model, attendance at all sessions of courses is mandatory.  \n• However, you may encounter circumstances that prevent you from attending classes for which you may be excused, meaning that the absences will not impact your grade. These circumstances include illness, religious observance, military obligation, attendance at a conference, a Bard Network event, a civic engagement initiative , a research trip or another compelling circumstance outside of your control (i.e. court appearance, visa appointment, death o","cbCaikIahCijube7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikIahCijube7","pdf",225788,"English","# Course Materials\n# Course Description and Goals\n## Communicative competence focus\n# Attendance\n## Excused and unexcused absences\n## Final exam requirement\n# Accomodations","[{\"question\":\"Who leads the GM151 German Beginner A2 (Group A) course and how are office hours handled?\",\"answer\":\"The seminar leader is Franziska Gilmozzi.
