Homework
1 hour per week. In lessons one through five, students will engage in interactive activities such as team Kahoot quizzes or a "question of the week". Additionally, learners are encouraged to share images of their German journals and videos where they answer questions using complete German sentences. This practice aims to enhance their proficiency in asking and answering questions in German. Moving forward, from weeks five to ten, students will be tasked with creating presentations that include detailed descriptions of their families, homes, and neighborhoods using comprehensive German sentences. This exercise will further strengthen their language skills and fluency in German.

Class Experience

In these video lessons, students will engage in a dynamic learning experience where they will actively participate in creating a colorful journal of pictures, words, and phrases while following along with the instructor. The focus will be on interactive activities such as writing and drawing target words and phrases, counting to 100, learning colors, common directions, and engaging with a "question of the week." The course curriculum includes a variety of topics such as animals, human body parts, foods, modes of transportation, introductions, greetings, basic communication skills, family vocabulary, housing, days and months, as well as insights into German culture like Oktoberfest and Karneval. Additionally, there will be opportunities for learners to participate in team Kahoot quizzes to reinforce their learning and engage in cultural discussions. Homework assignments will involve completing team Kahoot quizzes, responding to "questions of the week," sharing progress in German journals, and creating presentations with full German sentences. The instructor, though not a native German speaker, offers a unique perspective with an American accent and personal experiences from time spent in Germany. Overall, this self-paced Flex class provides a comprehensive and engaging learning environment for students to develop their German language skills, cultural awareness, and communication abilities.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Eastern Michigan University
I enjoyed four years of German in school. I later would go on to spend time in Germany speaking to natives. I was originally interested in the German language because of my heritage and also because of the similarities between the English and German languages. I am not a native speaker and have an American accent.
