Learning and teaching methods

Dieser Kurs ist modular angelegt, um eine größtmögliche Vielfalt zu gewährleisten. Einziges verbindendes Element zwischen allen drei Wochenstunden ist die deutsche Sprache. - In der ersten Stunde werden wir uns mit Übungen zur Erweiterung der Ausdrucksfähigkeit im Deutschen beschäftigen, wobei nach Bedarf verschiedene Schwerpunktthemen der deutschen Grammatik wiederholt werden. Zu Beginn jeder Stunde bearbeiten wir ausgewählte Wortschatzprobleme, idiomatische Wendungen, Präfixverben u.ä. - In der zweiten Wochenstunde werden wir Verfilmungen derjenigen literarischen Texte behandeln, die Sie hoffentlich alle während Ihres Auslandsjahres gelesen haben. Als erstes Beispiel beabsichtigt sie, den Roman "Der Campus" zu besprechen. Ein detaillierter Arbeitsplan mit ausführlicher Bibliographie wird in der ersten Sitzung verteilt. -In der verbleibenden Stunde werden wir uns im 1. Trimester auf die gesprochene Sprache konzentrieren, insbesondere Präsentationstechniken und Diskussion. Der Themenschwerpunkt dieses Jahres ist „Deutschland in Europa". Im 2. Trimester liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Verbesserung der schriftlichen Ausdrucksfähigkeit, wobei wir uns eine Reihe unterschiedlicher Formen und Stile erarbeiten werden. Detaillierte Arbeitspläne für jede Klasse stehen zu Trimesterbeginn zur Verfügung.
