This course is intended for students who are interested in improving their English fluency while having a fun and a unique cultural experience.
The class centers around conversations with tandem partners learning German in New York at Cornell University (Please note that you should have a minimum of B2 proficiency in German). Since you will be assigned a partners in New York, class attendance and participation is essential. In addition to participating regularly in online chat sessions, students will be working with their tandem partner on a portfolio of activities to help improve their communication and intercultural skills.
There will be sub-themes assigned every week to spark conversation followed by a small homework assignments related to the next week's class (article, video or brief research that has to do with the topics). Additionally, students are always encouraged to bring in issues from international, national and local news to drive conversation.
