“ From GER 312K/312L to GER 612: Rethinking the Second Year ” Dr. Per Urlaub and Jan Uelzemann Department of Germanic Studies, UT Austin Language Matters The Texas Language Center presents: A Series of Monthly Teacher-Oriented Presentations Wednesday, October 13 2:00 - 3:00pm Lone Star Room, Texas Union 3.208 There is no clear consensus among second language researchers and practitioners how exactly collegiate second-year language instruction should be organized. Based on current professional debates regarding the teaching of foreign languages and cultures at the college level, we will articulate the communicative, literacy-oriented philosophy to our programs redesigned GER 612. Further, we will discuss con- crete teaching approaches and instructional materials that we have adopted, modiﬁed and developed to help our learners to widen their communicative repertoire within culturally-rich contexts that inspire and prepare them for upper-division work.
