Drill (DRL)

• Above class open to graduates only
• Above class meets with GER-K 250

*This section meets with undergraduate course K250. K504 is a fourth semester language course, which will continue to build on your existing knowledge of Norwegian, strengthening and expanding the language tools you already possess to make you able to move beyond the everyday topics and into more specialized areas of conversation. We will focus on your ability to narrate and describe in Norwegian, as well as to construct well-rounded paragraphs. Topics of discussion will include Norwegian geography, history, society, folk narrative, school-system, food and well-being. We will use mainly authentic cultural materials. You will be required to do all the reading at home. Class time will be devoted exclusively to conversation/discussion and going over specific grammar topics and exercises. Every third week there will be a test on vocabulary and/or grammar. Weekly essays will also be required. Two written exams and one oral interview will count toward your final grade.
