Students are provided with a variety of support material that assists them in understanding and analysing film and expressing themselves in written and oral form in German. Starting with the silent film era and extending to contemporary German film, including current transnational tendencies, students contextualise German film as a reflection of German cultures and German speaking societies and are given various opportunities and platforms to further advance their skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing in German.
Students take active part in developing subject content and learning activities to practise and consolidate their language skills. By the end of the session students are expected to be able to express themselves effectively and spontaneously on a variety of topics explored in class.
