GERN_V: German

All GERN_V-coded courses are conducted in German-plus (i.e., German, plus any additional multilingual experiences students bring to the course). By plus , we mean that no classroom is ever monolingual; students bring all of their languages to class with them and use those languages implicitly to help improve their German knowledge.

For German Studies courses taught in English-plus, please see GMST_V-coded courses.
