ABSTRACT
[...]microcourses are an ideal vehicle for high-impact, cohort-building projects-experiences that can never substitute for study abroad but that can contribute to a cohesive learning community. [...]the writing assignments consisted of short response papers of 200-250 words in length in German that students posted on the course discussions page to elicit comments and questions from their peers. [...]microcourses provide an ideal workshop-like format for the development of particular linguistic skills that are sometimes overlooked in a language curriculum, such as translation, sustained listening, dramatic reading techniques, or explication of data (Grafikbeschreibung). [...]microcourses are exceptional at fostering a sense of community.
