This project is based on a practical need of Rutgers students of German (both first-year and continuing students) to have additional learning tools for improving different language skills in a strucured, but engaging way.
While there exists a plethora of offline and online-based commercial and free tools for German language learning, there are several issues that limit their applicability in the typical educational setting at Rutgers.
These issues are: idiosyncratic nature of many of these tools, their quality, and the vast disconnect between their goals and features and the requirements and expectations in the German language sequence at Rutgers.
The goal of this Aresty research project is to fill this gap and address these problems.
The final product of the project is a platform-independent information source (website) that contains a unique set of marerials based on German films, including grammar and vocabulary exercises targeting specifically students of German at Rutgers at different levels. The exercises will be integrated in the course programs to be used by students and instructors.
In completing this project, the research assistants will develop their abilities to collaborate in working with language and technology.
