This conversation course will introduce students to important topics of recent German history, beginning with the fall of the wall to present-day concerns about climate change. We will be basing our conversations on graphic novels to learn how authors represent issues of societal concern by addressing primarily younger German audiences. Appreciating the interplay of image and word, we will identify prominent patterns of colloquial speech to inform our own conversational practice.
