Course: German I
School phone: 381-3930
1st Period conference block: 7:15 AM - 8:50 AM
Course Objective
This course continues a multimedia approach to help students maintain the language skills learned in German I. The course continues to develop the speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills at a higher level of difficulty. An understanding of the cultures of the German-speaking countries and their people continues to be an integral component of the content, fostering a respect and appreciation for the diversity of language and culture. The course content reflects National Standards for Foreign Language Learning.
German II students will:
• review and expand their vocabulary base and knowledge of the structures of the German language.
• respond meaningfully in speaking, writing, or by action to the spoken language in situations appropriate to the level.
• demonstrate comprehension of reading material on familiar topics.
• demonstrate an increased awareness of the German-speaking cultures and a greater familiarity with the political and geographical aspects of the German-speaking countries.
• demonstrate the ability to use the Internet as a learning tool to access relevant and current information about the German language and its cultures.
The course continues to emphasize communicative competence by focusing on authentic cultural contexts. The German video series, Deutsch Aktuell, is used to supplement the instruction. Students are exposed to a variety of situations in authentic cultural contexts. Corresponding listening, speaking, reading, and writing exercises require learners to interact in natural and meaningful ways. Assignments require learners to work independently and collaboratively to achieve the objectives of the course.
Three days a week, I will introduce and demonstrates new concepts, reviews materials, respond to and asks questions of students.
Student Prerequisites

b. demonstrate motivation and interest in learning another language.
Exams/Quizzes
Tests are given approximately every four weeks. Tests cover reading, writing and listening comprehension and are administered during the broadcast class. Cultural material is also tested. There is a comprehensive final which will count the same as an ordinary test. Quizzes are given at regular intervals. Students will be assigned a semester project.
