√ Wrap up: decisions about the Nees book; assignments for the week and preparation for next meeting - see below
|
|
| Aufgabe(n) |
|
• Due Wednesday (28 September): Read the course description and write, in English, a reflection about: 1) how the course fits into your larger PAST study of German; 2) how it fits into what you want from your study of German. Keep it to 1 page (250 words). Your reading and reflection will be the basis of class discussion of those topics, in German, on Wednesday, as preparation for when you compose your own career statement and résumé in German.
• Do by Wednesday (28 September): Read online the first chapter of Nees, Greg. "Germany: Unraveling and Enigma", and be prepared Wednesday to tell (in German) how you want to obtain the book: get the print version on your own, join others in a group order of the print version, or use the Kindle version.
• Due Wednesday (28 September): Read the "Ich über mich" statements by the students from Irkutsk who are participating in the TU Dresden course where they learn about German culture and ways of thinking. Note vocabulary that you can use in your upcoming personal statement. Translate into English either Oksana Zwira's or Irina Anziferowa's statement.

|
| Vorbereitung auf die nächste(n) Stunde(n) |
|
from Monday:
• Begin searching, using (quoted) "ich über mich" and smart keywods, for a person in the German-speaking world who shares your educational, career, and even personal interests. This is preparation for assignments where you will translate that person's résumé and use its vocabulary to enrich your own résumé in German.
• Explore my conference presentation about SpeakEasy, so that you will better understand how SpeakEasy will fit into German 301-302.
New:
• Next week's topic is "Language Skills and Educational Background / Work Experience": Think systematically about the workplace / professional skills you have or want to have, both for your intended occupation, and what might be of use to the "SpeakEasy" part of our course. Start gathering the vocabulary to name and describe them; best way is to find real web pages about real people (try combining the skill with "über mich" or "Lebenslauf" or "Ausbildung")
• [more to come shortly- got delayed at the airport this afternoon]
