Aligned with our learning objectives in GRMN 3198 and 3199, this course focuses on the study of shorter German literary texts across several genres. Students will strengthen their reading comprehension by applying their knowledge of linguistic structures and expanding their lexicon, and they will learn both specialized terminology and approaches to unlock meaning in German texts, both through thorough analysis and interactive discussion. Online annotation projects and blog/ discussion forum entries will provide medium-specific opportunities to express opinions and readings of texts in level-specific registers.
