GR 120 - German Language & Culture

Institution:

Colorado College

Subject:

Description:

This FYE (First Year Experience) course will introduce students to German language and culture. In the 2 blocks we will cover half the language material covered in GR101, combined with lessons in German culture (which will draw on topics in history, politics, literature, music, art, film, theater, etc.). With a basic understanding of the structures of the German language, students will be in a position to analyze and comprehend German culture (in its distinctive Germanness) in greater depth. Located in the heart of Europe, i. e., in Mitteleuropa, between East and West, German is also a striking example through which to explore issues of borders and frontiers. Particularly with its 20th century history as a divided country and the home of the Iron Curtain, Germany has represented borders and frontiers (geopolitically) in a most vivid manner. The language component of this course is at the beginning level. It is not assumed or required that students already have previous experience in German to enroll in this course. (Restricted to first-year students. Fulfills one unit of Language/Humanities credit and one unit of Culture/Humanities credit. Upon completion of the course, students who wish to continue with German language studies may enroll in the second block of GR101.) Prerequisite: FYE Course. 1st Years only. (Meets the Critical Perspectives: The West in Time requirement.) (Not offered 2008-09.) 2 units.
