SU, May intensive. Discover the cultural riches of Berlin, one of the most exciting capitals of Europe, as you learn or improve your German over three weeks in May. Students take morning classes at the world-renowned Goethe Institute one half of the day and exploring the German capital in the afternoon and evening. Lodging in Berlin is normally in private homes organized by the Goethe Institute. At the end of the course, students spend a few days exploring other cities or regions of Germany. Course goals include growth in intercultural sensitivity, gains in mastery of German, and increased understanding of various religious, political, and cultural phenomena of Germany. Students will be assessed on their participation in the Goethe Institute courses, director-led excursions, and the submission of analytic journal entries focusing on cultural issues.
