Eine Reise in "the Gilded Age"
Willkommen bei "The Great Gatsby", einem sprachbasierten Kurs, der sich um F. Scott Fitzgeralds Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur dreht. Meine PassionClass wurde für Nicht-Muttersprachler auf einem B1-B2-Niveau entwickelt und bietet eine fesselnde, konversationsbasierte Erkundung der Handlung, der Charaktere, der Themen und des historischen Kontexts des Romans. Jede Woche werden wir uns mit (ungefähr) einem Kapitel befassen und sinnvolle Gespräche fördern, um das Verständnis und die Sprachkenntnisse zu verbessern.
Wer sollte sich anmelden?
Ich interessiere mich für amerikanische Literatur und freue mich darauf, mit Ihnen das Gilded Age und Fitzgerald zu erkunden. Wir werden den Text gemeinsam im Unterricht lesen, so dass Sie sich nicht vorbereiten müssen, es sei denn, Sie möchten es. Ich erwarte, dass ich wichtige Absätze lese und sie dann in kleinere Teile zerlege, um ihre Bedeutung zu erklären. Teilnehmer*innen, die damit nicht vertraut sind, werden hoffentlich nicht nur ein solides Verständnis der Handlung erlangen, sondern durch unseren Diskurs auch ihre Sprachkenntnisse und ihr Verständnis für den historischen Kontext von New York im Gilded Age verbessern. Es ist kein umfangreiches Hintergrundwissen (oder formelle Kleidung!) erforderlich – bringen Sie einfach Ihre Neugier und die Bereitschaft mit, sich mit diesem Klassiker auseinanderzusetzen.

Mein Ansatz legt Wert auf eine entspannte Atmosphäre, die sicherstellt, dass alle Teilnehmer, unabhängig von ihren Sprachkenntnissen, bequem an Diskussionen teilnehmen können. Ich hoffe, dass unsere Diskussionen zum Nachdenken anregen und Sie die Gelegenheit haben, Ihre Einsichten und Perspektiven auf die Figuren und Ereignisse innerhalb des Romans zu teilen. Ich plane es.Dieser Kurs bietet Nicht-Muttersprachlern die Möglichkeit, ihre Sprachkenntnisse und analytischen Fähigkeiten zu verbessern und gleichzeitig Fitzgeralds sozialen Kommentar in "Der große Gatsby" aufzudecken. Begleiten Sie uns auf eine Reise durch die Seiten dieses literarischen Klassikers, bei dem der Schwerpunkt auf Verständnis und Wertschätzung liegt, was ihn zu einem idealen Kurs für alle macht, die die fesselnde Welt von Gatsby und das Gilded Age erkunden möchten.
Vielen Dank!

I’m passionate about American literature & look forward to exploring the Gilded Age & Fitzgerald with you. We will read the text together in class, so no preparation is required unless you’d like to. I plan to read important passages & break them down into smaller parts to explain their meaning. Participants unfamiliar with the text will hopefully gain a solid understanding of the plot while improving their language skills & understanding of the historical context of New York in the Gilded Age through our discussions. No extensive background knowledge (or formal attire!) is needed—just bring your curiosity and willingness to engage with this classic.
