At Millersville University (Pennsylvania), business German is taught in the German section in a two-semester introduction at the sophomore level, a junior-level advanced course, and a senior-level translation course. These four courses are augmented by introductions to business and economics, both taught in English outside the German section. Short supply of adequate textbooks often requires in-house preparation of materials. In the sophomore course, for example, a collection of graphs, readings, business statistics, and geographical sketches based on data from three German publications provide an introduction to all of the important trends in contemporary German business. Areas of study for the two-semester course include international business, German foreign trade, the German government, the domestic German economy, and the German consumer. The lessons proceed from the broadest topic, international trade, to the most basic element, the consumer, and each lesson consists of a graph and its text, a story problem, a reading, vocabulary lists, text- and vocabulary-related questions, grammar points and drill, and business statistics. Class activities based on the lessons include written and oral questions-and-answers, reading aloud, translation, and vocabulary drills. A true-or-false test based on the texts is administered each day. The lesson structure allows for both theoretical work and exposure to specific, current trends. (MSE)
