German Language and Literature - Earlham College

German Language and Literature from Earlham College is a Campus Bachelor Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The curriculum of Earlham's German program looks to the past as much as it anticipates the future. To come to know the cultural heritage of German-speaking countries is an educational end in itself. However, our work as teachers is equally intent on presenting the complexities of today's German-speaking world and its many future challenges. One of our central goals, therefore, is to help students understand and appreciate German-speaking Europe, from medieval times to the present, and to understand its role in a united Europe. In all of our courses we use a proficiency-oriented, communicative approach and adhere to the nationally articulated Standards for Foreign Language Learning. In our basic language courses we focus on both language and culture, while introducing students to authentic texts, literary as well as non-literary. Students learn to interact with one another, whether across the ocean, across town or across campus. In upper-level literature , culture and film courses, students learn to describe, analyze and interpret a broad variety of texts in social, cultural and historical contexts. Through the texts they study, students also learn to appreciate the cultural diversity of German-speaking Europe. View more details on Earlham College .
