Further detailed material for project work is available in the
German Resources Room but MAY NOT be removed! Arrange photocopying
with one of the German staff. For projects you will be expected
to write away for your own materials and use the Internet and
the UEA library.
Bilingual and monolingual dictionaries are available for use
in class and in the library but you are strongly advised to buy
your own bilingual dictionary and we can obtain these in bulk
at a discount.
You will not be allowed to use a dictionary
in the examination however.
Listening facilities are available in the German Resources Room and the Reynolds library but you are advised to use your own walkman as far as possible and you will need to bring a walkman to the examination. You will be encouraged to make your own copies of listening material for home use. Video material is also available to be viewed in the German Resources Room and MAY NOT be removed. We recommend that you store Essay/Project work and material for Talks on computer and you will therefore need a disk.
