German - 2008

German 1A and German 1B

Introduction

Extension Program German was first offered by the Department of German and Swedish Studies in 1997. The intensive language lessons and varied contextual studies proved very popular among the students who entered the Program. These students completed the regular course syllabus for first year students and also gained a welcome exposure to university teaching and assessment styles.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the Bachelor of Arts who have majored in German have found employment in teaching, media, the public service, the diplomatic service and international trade.

VCE Prerequisites

Applicants who have not completed German 3/4 will be required to attend an interview and/or sit a test to determine whether their proficiency is equivalent to Unit 3/4 level.

Aims

Extension Program German has two aims:

to consolidate your grasp of a range of language structures within a communicatively oriented learning environment
to introduce a range of new areas of study encompassing the broad field of language in context. These areas cover topics of cultural, political, literary and linguistic interest and are designed to provide the building blocks for future specialisation in German courses within the Department
