German II: Grammar and Academic Writing

Education facts

Code: GTY3J5

The course comprises both an in-depth study of German morphology and syntax, with a focus on contrastively significant differences between German and Swedish, and basic skills in academic writing in German. Following introductory grammar seminars, the theoretical knowledge acquired is applied in an academic writing process. Under supervision, students practise fundamental academic writing skills such as formal conventions, source criticism, methodology, and information retrieval. Students write a paper with a focus on linguistics/language pedagogy or literary studies/literary pedagogy. The course concludes with an obligatory peer discussion and examination.
