GER3103 Language Project A (FOART)

Units 1.0 (Northern European Languages) Band 1

Pre-requisite: GER2102

Synopsis

Studying German as part of an Arts, Business, Engineering, Science, Education, or IT degree, to a confident level of language competence, can provide graduates with an important competitive edge when entering and advancing their careers in increasingly global employment markets. Language Project A is a German language course at intermediate level. It builds on skills acquired in GER2102 German 2B and is intended for students who have recently passed a language competence level equivalent to at least A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. This course will enable students to enhance their knowledge of German and the German-speaking countries of Europe by researching, writing up and presenting a report (length 1000-1200 words) on a topic of cultural, political, historical, social, economic, or scientific interest. It is envisaged that students will explore a topic of relevance to the (other) major discipline in their academic program or one of special contemporary significance.
