Basic German AI University of Tsukuba

Course Overview

This German language course for beginners is designed to learn basic grammar (Introductory Level) while acquiring the fundamental four skills (Listening/Reading/ Speaking /Writing).
初修者を対象にしたこのドイツ語の授業では、4技能(聞く・読む・話す・書く)の総合的な修得に配慮しながら、とくに基本文法(入門レベル)の修得を目指す。

Learning Achievement

THIS COURSE IS TO BE TAKEN AS A SET OF THREE (Mo6, Mi6, Do6). IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO TAKE JUST ONE OF THE THREE. JUST TWO: ONLY ON REQUEST (Mon & Wed: focus on language. Thu: focus on music & culture.) The objectives of the course are to develop the four classical receptive & productive language skills (listening/reading & speaking/writing), but also the two equally important skills of interaction and mediation (helping each other to understand). Therefore, the classes will be held synchronously - if somehow possible. On completion of the course, students will have acquired practical German Languages, gained some insight in central European cultures, and practiced intensive teamwork.

Competence

1. Ability to communicate, to interact, to mediate, and to work in groups.
2. Learning to learn (e.g. loci method); note taking.
3. Critical thinking.
