The course will aim to impart general knowledge of German-speaking culture and literature. The aim is to arouse student's curiosity by discovering several great personalities of German-speaking culture, personalities who will make it possible to discover parts of German-speaking history, geography and politics, cities such as Berlin, Leipzig, Eisenach or Innsbruck, links also between these places and Belgium.
The level of language acquired at the end of the course will depend on the language prerequisites. For students who have not yet had the opportunity to attend a German course, this course aims to acquire the A1/A2 level according to the CEFR* criteria. For students who have already taken a German course or for whom German is their mother tongue, the course will aim to develop both oral and written skills. *https://www.coe.int/fr/web/common-european-framework-reference-languages
The course includes compulsory exercises (30 hours). These will help students to prepare for the course (questions on vocabulary, preparation and working techniques) and will also complement it with a thematic section: while the course will focus on German-language culture from the beginnings to the 17th century, the exercise sessions will also offer a brief overview of authors and texts from contemporary German-language literature. Bernhard Schlink's novel Der Vorleser will be discussed as part of these exercise sessions.
The final score will consist of the following parts:
- the written exam in January which will count for 90%. The student will be asked to answer a series of questions related to the course content. In order to familiarise students with the evaluation method, a mock test will be held at the end of the course.
- two written assignments to be submitted during the term. These papers will be presented as part of the exercise sessions and will count for 10% of the final grade. They are a prerequisite for the written and oral examination.
