Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Intermediate - Advanced Level
Students will work with the teacher on achieving advancing knowledge of high intermediate level (Goethe Institute level B1 or U.S./Canada high school level 3 or 4) in German, in order to be prepared to communicate for school or business in German-speaking countries. We will write on a variety of topics. This class will utilize a small group format in order for students to have plenty of time for personalized feedback and practice. The teacher will use slides, some grammar practice and reinforcement, and writing rubrics as indicated by the Goethe Institute and ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages)
Topics explored are listed in the syllabus.

Learning Goals

Students will work on achieving a greater flow of writing in German and building upon skills learned from TWO OR MORE previous years of German in school, or via an extended stay in a German-speaking country.
