Texts
Fokus Deutsch. Beginning German I, Integrated with Level I Video (Robert Di Donato, Chief Academic and Series Developer), by Rosemary Delia, Daniela Dosch Fritz, Anke Finger, Stephen L. Newton, Lisa Daves-Schneider and Karl Schneider. McGraw Hill, Inc.: 2000.
Workbook/Laboratory Manual to Fokus Deutsch. Beginning German I
***NOTE: Instructor will check Workbook/Laboratory Manual assignments at the end of each chapter.
Goals Of The Course
Practice in listening to, speaking, reading and writing German to help the student achieve a Novice Mid/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 five unit tests will count 5% each (25% total), the mid-term test will count 20%, the class participation evaluation will count 10%, the sound media .work evaluations will count 10%, the two oral interview tests will count 5% each (10% total), and the final exam will count 25%.
Sound Media Work (Lab Or Home)
All students are expected to work with the CD’s at home or in the language lab. The 10% listening comprehension work evaluation will be based on the completed Hören Sie zu! exercises from the textbook and CD’s 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 comprehension 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.

Good Second Language Learners....
- are willing to guess and guess accurately,
- want very much to communicate,
- are uninhibited and risk making mistakes,
- pay attention to form,
- practice,
- monitor their production and compare it to native standards, and
- 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
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 fulfilling the following criteria:
1. Achievement of a satisfactory score on a proficiency examination administered 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."

Academic Integrity
All students are expected to do their own work, especially
on tests and research papers. This instructor does not tolerate any kind of
cheating on tests or plagiarism in research papers and reports. Students
discovered cheating or committing plagiarism will receive an automatic failing
grade for the course and will be reported to the appropriate university
