Melin, Charlotte; Laun, Jurgen
Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching German, v40 n1 p1-8 Spr 2007
The essay recommends the incorporation of contemporary works in third-year courses at college level based on the redesign of two courses, "Advanced Conversation and Composition" and "GermanMedia." Curricular connections across the German studies major and focus on literacy skills can be enhanced through the systematic integration of recent literature, blogs, and multi-media materials.
