Requirements and Expectations - Stanford University...Class participation is an essential part of...

Gerlang 1: Herbst 2017

Instructor: Office: Email: Classroom/time: Office Hours:

Class Format:

Class meets 5 times a week for 50 minutes. Each day during class you will listen to spoken German (from your professor as well as in video/audio

clips) for approx. 10-15 minutes. You will also be expected to speak in partner, group and class activities.

Each day new material will be worked with through visual and audio contexts and you will work with new vocabulary and expressions in developing

proficiency. Most days will closely follow the textbook and course calendar, however there may be some deviations in working towards the course’s

objectives.

Texts:

1. Motive A1-B1. Kompaktkurs DaF. Kursbuch, Lektion 1-30. Hueber Verlag. ISBN 978-3-19-001878-9 [GERLANG 1-2-3] 2. Digital Motive A1-B1 Arbeitsbuch. Hueber Verlag. ISBN 978-3-19-131878-9 (Gerlang 1-2-3). Digital Workbook can be bought directly from

Hueber.de. Online activities will be accessed in schooltas (www.schooltas.net). Our class code is: _______

All books are available for purchase at the Stanford Bookstore. You can also search Rent-a-Book, or used versions at amazon, ecampus, and other

internet sites (e.g. IBIS, MEP).

Requirements and Expectations:

a. Review and Preview Daily review of the vocabulary discussed in class is absolutely mandatory. This is necessary to increase your word power and working vocabulary. Revision with the help of flash cards is strongly recommended. Further engagement with vocabulary in authentic textual presentations online is recommended. Read the explanations for relevant grammar topics from the textbook before they are presented in class. b. Class participation

Class participation is an essential part of learning and should be taken as a priority. You will be expected to actively participate in partner, group and full-class activities: this means both asking and answering questions, creating dialogues and scenes and in general being able to contribute to the activities in the classroom. Preparation outside of class will increase your ability to participate during class. You will not be evaluated so much on correct answers, as simply participating. This active use of the language in a learning environment is vital in your language proficiency development. c. online Activities (digital workbook via schooltas) Corresponding thematic and grammar exercises for each chapter (Lektion 1 through Lektion 10) accompany our in-class activities. These exercises should be done before and during our discussion and use in class (NOT AFTER). They should not all be done at once. They should also be completed before the due date. You are responsible for checking this online. d. Portfolios In the first few weeks you will be asked to find a number of readings online in German to evaluate. Hereafter you will search for and listen to/watch a number of online audio/video clips in German. A video project constitutes the 3rd portfolio (see below). At the end of the quarter you will reflect on your German learning experience. Details for these assignments will be provided in your section's coursework site. d.Other assignments Further short writing, presentational or online/Internet activities (e.g. shopping) will be periodically assigned, according to class and instructor. These should be done on time. No late work will be accepted. e. Supplementary readings In gaining a greater cultural awareness of historical German-speaking world, you will have supplementary online cultural activities in Canvas. They should be completed by the due date according to your syllabus. The final activity is watching a film. f. Video project (portfolio 3) As part of presentational language, you will work with 1-3 other students in weeks 5-7 on a video project. Depending on instructor and section, your group will present a German song (with background information and class activity). g. Composition(s)/schriftliche Arbeit In each course you will write, and edit, short compositions (typed, 12 pt. font, double-spaced, regular margins, 1-2 pages, etc.) appropriate to the themes and grammar being learned (e.g. Gerlang 1 – biographical essay). h. Presentation You will give a shorter (mid-quarter) and a longer (end of quarter) oral presentation in German. Presentational language, guidelines and strategies for your presentation will be discussed in each individual section of German. It is important to start early, investigating and developing a certain level of competence and linguistic comfort with the theme before you present. Powerpoint, Prezi or other presentational media are encouraged; you should not read the whole time, but will be allowed to use some notes. Please prepare yourself as well for a short question & answer session after presenting. Also, class members will be expected to upload further questions/comments to an online page in your coursework section, according to instructor's guidelines.. i. Quizzes and ODAs/WDAs. Quizzes will include both language and cultural information covered in the course. The quizzes are composed of authentic materials (written, visual, audio) and situations that will evaluate your Speaking, Listening, Vocabulary, Grammar, Reading and Writing skills/proficiency. Note: You will be completing assignments and taking quizzes and tests either in class or through Canvas (unless otherwise noted in your course schedule). (To self-register for Canvas, go to canvas.stanford.edu. If you already have a canvas account, please Login. If you have a SUNet ID but have not yet registered for a canvas account, please Register. The Assignment/Quiz will be available to take on canvas for a period of time specified by your instructor. Language Lab is located in ground floor of Lathrop. ODA (oral diagnostic assessments) and WDAs (written diagnostic assessments) will be administered via canvas, these are not graded, but rather pass/fail assignments. Make sure to download the Canvas app to your smartphone. h. Progress Card & SOPI/Interview – in the course of the quarter, you will periodically reference a German Language “Progress Card” – found on coursework – and evaluate areas where you feel confident and others where you don’t and work on these. Then, in weeks 9 & 10 you will sign up to meet your instructor in his/her office for a 15-20-minute conversation/interview, which will be conducted entirely in German. This is a critical part of monitoring development of and evaluating your language proficiency.

Attendance

Regular attendance is imperative for your language learning and each absence will negatively affect your learning as well as your overall

grade. Considering the difficulty of distinguishing between the concept of ‘excused’ versus ‘unexcused’ absences, the Language Center guidelines

refer only to ‘absences.’ If you anticipate regular lateness because of a preceding class or sports practice, please reconsider taking another section of

this course that fits better into your schedule or take the course during another quarter. Students who will miss class for official University-sponsored

activities should notify their instructor during the first week of class regarding the date(s) of expected absence(s) and the official involved. If you miss

class, for whatever reason, it is solely your responsibility to inform your instructor in advance, via e-mail, and to catch up on studies missed. Unless

there is a documented emergency, there will be no make-up quizzes or exams. Being prepared includes having read ahead in the books as

necessary, including reading the explanations for grammar topics before they are presented in class. In addition, you should be familiar with the

vocabulary for the respective chapters as necessary, not only in preparation for exams or quizzes. Pay close attention for each day's activities

referencing the course calendar.

The record of absences is not included in the grading scale, but rather in the overall final grade. The first absence (i.e. = 50 minutes = 1 period in First-

Year, .5 period in Second-Year) will result in a 1% deduction, as will the second absence. Hereafter each absence will result in a 2% deduction from

your overall course grade. Each tardy constitutes 1/3 absence, 3 tardies count at 1 unexcused absence.

1 absence - 1% deduction from grade 2 absences - 2% deduction from grade 3 absences - 4% deduction from grade 4 absences - 6% deduction from grade 5 absences - 8% deduction from grade (i.e. if your performative grade was 92% and you had 3 absences, your final grade would be 88%)
