GOALS OF THE COURSE
Practice in listening to, speaking, reading and writing German to help the student achieve a Novice Mid to Novice High level of proficiency in the language.
POLICIES
Attendance is essential if you hope
to keep up and not fall hopelessly behind. After six unexcused absences, I
reserve the right to drop your final grade average by five points for each
subsequent absence. If you simply stop coming to class, but do not drop the
class, then after twelve consecutive absences, I will drop you for
non-attendance and assign you a grade of ,,WF".
FINAL GRADE
The four unit tests will
count 5% each (20% total), the class participation evaluation
will count 10%, the listening exercise evaluations will count 10%,
the two oral interview tests will count 10% each (20% total), and
the final exam will count 40%.
SOUND MEDIA WORK (LAB OR HOME)
All students are expected to work with the textbook CD and
with the audio program in the language lab. The 10% sound media work evaluation
will be based on the completed exercises from the workbook writing sections and
from the textbook CD which you must turn in to the instructor at the end of
each chapter. All students who do their work in the language lab are expected
to maintain their attendance sheets in this book. See the lab director or one
of the student workers to get your sheet started.
SOME POINTS ON PREPARING EACH LESSON
Listen to the sounds and rhythms of the German on the videos and CD’s; just listen a few tirnes. Then, try repeating them yourself. Listen for general cornprehension of the German. Do not try to translate right offhand. Look up words at convenient breaks. Continuity of listening is important, especially the first time through.
!!COME SEE ME AS SOON AS A PROBLEM ARISES!! That’s why I have office hours.
GOOD SECOND LANGUAGE LEARNERS
1. are willing to guess and risk guessing wrongly,
2. want very much to communicate,
3. are relatively uninhibited and risk making mistakes,
4. pay attention to form,
5. practice a lot,
6. monitor their production and compare it to native
standards, and
7. pay attention to meaning in its social context.
-Joan Rubin. ,,What the ‘Good
Language Learner’ Can Teach Us,” TESOLQ 9:41-51.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION (from Undergraduate Bulletin, p. 145)
,,Students who have studied a foreign language in which they are not native speakers, and have not previously received undergraduate credit in that language at a college or university, may receive credit by examination. Such credit is limited to a maximum of six hours in a language or twelve hours within the department and is granted by fülfilling the following criteria:
1. Achievement of a satisfactory score on a proficiency examination adrninistered by the Department of Foreign Languages.
2. Satisfactory completion, with a minimum grade of ‘B’, of the next sequential foreign language course above the level for which credit is to be awarded."
