4. World Language Studies Minor

Notes:

If you have no previous knowledge of German, GRMN 101* is the right place to start. If you have an OAC or equivalent in German, GRMN 201* is the right place. If you have some knowledge of German thanks to travel or family connections, it may be appropriate for you to start with GRMN 102*, i.e., half way through the first year course. If you are in this situation, you should speak to a faculty member in order to have your level evaluated.

If you are taking Introductory German and think you might like to take a German Plan, we encourage you to enrol for Intermediate German in Germany or by correspondence during the summer (transfer credit). This will enable you to accelerate your learning by entering the third year one year after the first-year programme.

Students completing Introductory German and considering a German Plan should consider taking GRMN 201*-202*, Intermediate German and GRMN 203. This course serves as a valuable back-up to the main second-year course, and provides increased opportunities for vocabulary expansion and practical use of the language in lifelike situations.

Students taking a major or a medial are encouraged to explore ways of spending time in Germany. The best option is to spend your whole third year at a German university, receiving transfer credits for the courses you take. The Ontario/Baden-Württemberg Exchange provides the most convenient means of doing this. But other possibilities are residential summer language courses (for which you can also receive a Queen's credit), and the Werkstudentenprogramm, a summer work and travel programme.
