Subject Description

This subject is offered in the form of a modular system of seminars introducing research methods and materials in different specialist fields within the three core areas of Germanic studies: literature, linguistics, and cultural studies. The topics of seminars offered include a range of representative texts, authors and approaches in the key areas of German literature, linguistics and cultural studies. By choosing two of the seminars, students will gain both an introduction to research methods and materials in Germanic studies and familiarity with specialist fields. They will develop the ability to approach specific problems in two chosen areas of interest through the critical use of sophisticated oral and written German.

Assessment

Two 1.5-hour examinations and two classpapers equivalent to 2500 words, or written work totalling 4000 words.
