WFU VIRTUAL STUDY ABROAD FAIR
GER 208 Introduction to German Literature
Students will take German 208, an introduction to literature course, which will fulfill the university’s foreign language requirement. In this course, we will examine texts that deal explicitly with the region and its history, with a particular emphasis on East Germany, the Peaceful Revolution of 1989 which brought down the Berlin Wall, and the nation’s subsequent process of reunification. In addition to gaining fluency in German, students will also learn a great deal about German culture, history, and politics in the midst of the locations and landmarks where these important events unfolded.
Note: GER 153 will be offered on the WFU campus during summer session I. Students interested in completing their language requirement over the summer could take 153 at WFU during summer session I and then 208 in Germany over summer session II.
