Course objectives
The main aim of the German teaching during the first two terms is to master basic German grammar, basic vocabulary for routine conversation and an introduction to the reading of technical texts. The lessons largely focus on morphological and syntactical elements which appear in both older and newer German scholarly texts, reading skills and the application of vocabulary in speech. Attention is also paid to writing, spelling, and with respect to the aforementioned discipline, reading and writing in the Neo-Gothic cursive writing. Emphasis is also placed on individual reading.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to:
- actively produce and passively recognise basic German vocabulary, (e.g. from the textbook);
- inflect nouns, including adjectives, according to grammatical rules, and conjugate regular and irregular verbs in the present tense, past tense and perfect;
- form the passive and the most common subjunctives;
- form subordinate clauses;
- understand texts (some with historical themes);
- read cursive script.
