Accessible to high school students, general readers, and undergraduates, this companion overviews the poem and its legacy. The initial chapters review the plot of Beowulf, while later chapters discuss its style and language, its cultural and historical contexts, and its afterlife in contemporary popular culture.||The first part of the book provides information of interest to a wide range of readers, wEpic poetry, English (Old)History and criticismHandbooks, manuals, etcMonsters in literatureHandbooks, manuals, etcDragons in literatureHandbooks, manuals, etcHeroes in literatureHandbooks, manuals, etcScandinaviaIn literatureHandbooks, manuals, etcElectronic books.Epic poetry, English (Old)History and criticismMonsters in literatureDragons in literatureHeroes in literature829/.3Johnston Ruth A948444MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455215103321A companion to Beowulf2144000UNINA02871 am 22005053u 450 991076573320332120230828204140.0(CKB)3450000000002859(SSID)ssj0000986017(PQKBManifestationID)11503003(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000986017(PQKBWorkID)10933455(PQKB)11088018(OCoLC)701752597(WaSeSS)Ind00074626(EXLCZ)99345000000000285920160829h20062006 uy 0gerurmn#nnn|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDie neustrukturierung von studiengängen "Deutsch als fremdsprache" probleme und perspektiven : fachtagung 17.-19.

In the last years the reactions ranged from total rejection over a more temporising attitude to clear and unambiguous affirmation. Hence, the „Fachverband Deutsch als Fremdsprache“ (FaDaF – association for German as a foreign language) has accepted the challenge to enter on the level of science policy the discussion about the higher education structural reforms as far as the subject of German as a Foreign Language (DaF) is concerned. With the help of reports on the current situation and the future of the DaF degree programmes in various European countries, contributions regarding the crucial problems of the higher education structural reforms and a position paper about the curricular basis of the BA/MA degree programmes in the field of German as a foreign language, the basic parameters of the ongoing restructuring in this subject are discussed here.German languageStudy and teaching (Higher)Foreign speakersCongressesGerman languageStudy and teaching (Higher)Foreign speakers430.7114Casper-Hehne HiltraudKoreik UweMiddeke AnnegretPQKBAuAdUSAUkMaJRUBOOK9910765733203321Die neustrukturierung von studiengängen "Deutsch als fremdsprache"2152904UNINA
