GR 201 - German Language in Context: Novice Abroad III

This course is intended for students who already have a basic foundation in German and are continuing their progression through the final phase of the beginner level. It supports students in developing greater confidence and independence in everyday communication while expanding their ability to engage with a wider range of topics and texts.

The goal of this course is to guide students toward more flexible and spontaneous use of the language in familiar situations and predictable social settings. To support this, the course reviews key grammatical concepts from the introductory level and introduces new structures and vocabulary that enable students to express themselves with more nuance and accuracy. Students will work with short texts, audio and video materials, and classroom discussions that go beyond basic survival language to include personal interests, routines, opinions, and current topics relevant to life in German-speaking environments - particularly Vienna.
