The German Reading for Historians course will:
- Revise some fundamental language structures and principles at a fairly speedy pace, with reference to extracts from the Themes and Sources Reader (collection of relevant texts) in the Michaelmas term.
- Introduce and practice reading skills.
- Give help and support with reading a selection of the prescribed texts from the Themes and Sources Reader, considering vocabulary, structures, context and general language.
- Raven access is required
- Further information regarding Raven is available
- Eligibility determined by the LC in conjunction with the Faculty.
Classes take into account the language proficiency level of the participants (typically around 10) and start with a revision of the core concepts of the language (5 weekly sessions in Michaelmas) and proceed to focus on the texts studied for the Themes and Sources (German) paper, aiming to develop general academic reading skills and grammatical knowledge.
