UNIQUE HYBRID FORMAT: LIVE SESSION + GUIDED WORK
The class follows a hybrid format, with two components:

1: Each Monday, students in German 3, German 4, and German 5 come together in our Live Session for speaking practice, discussion of our readings, follow-up on grammar assignments, and cultural enrichment.

2: During the week, your student will work individually on the Guided Work assignments. I will teach them via interactive videos, reading assignments, reading guides, and grammar-practice worksheets.

Students can expect to spend two to four hours per week on the Guided Work assignments.

In my experience, students at the intermediate level are able to do the more independent “Guided Work” quite successfully.

The live meetings, quarterly exams, and weekly “Study Trackers” provide them with frequent checkpoints.

You’re getting the real deal here. I am a true advanced professional with 25+ years of teaching experience, training, awards, and a PhD. Teaching on Outschool is my full-time job. I take my work seriously and spend a lot of time thinking about how best to support each student. I teach just a small number of students per year, so you can be sure your young person is getting the personalized attention that builds confidence, honors each student’s unique abilities, and leads to language-learning success.

FAQ
Q: Do you teach the class in GERMAN or in ENGLISH?
A: Both! I use a “partial immersion” approach. At the German 3, 4, & 5 level, most of class time is spent in German.

Q: Are you a NATIVE SPEAKER of German?
A: I am a “near-native” speaker of German. I have a BA, MA, and PhD in German and I have spent significant time in Germany, so my language skills are top-notch. As a near-native speaker, I offer students the best of both worlds: I have clear pronunciation, advanced vocabulary, and excellent grammatical accuracy, and I speak a standardized “textbook” German that is very easy for students to follow.

Q: Does it matter that you are a TRAINED TEACHER?
A: I sure think it does! I have read hundreds of books and articles on teaching, presented at dozens of teacher conferences, and published articles on specific teaching methods. In my class, your student will be the beneficiary of years’ worth of training.

Q: What PROFICIENCY LEVEL will my student achieve?
A: The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) provides a scale of proficiency levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. Students have generally achieved the A2 level by the end of German 2. German 3 brings them to the B1 level, and German 4 and German 5 into the coveted B2 range.

Q: We have a SCHEDULING CONFLICT. Can my student still take the class?
A: Absolutely. Your student can catch up on a missed class by watching the class video, posted by Outschool after each class session.

Q: Can we count this class for HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT?
A: Quite possibly. If you are a homeschooling family creating your own transcript, simply list German 3, Parts 1 - 4 as one full high school credit (same for German 4 and German 5). If you are working with a high school guidance counselor, you can submit the class description, my credentials, and your student’s exam scores and narrative reports for possible credit from your school.

Q: We missed the beginning of the school year! Is it TOO LATE TO START?
A: I often accommodate students with a late start. Message me and let’s see if we can make it work. If your student is ready for work at this level, they may be able to jump right in.

Q: I don’t think we’ll be able to get the TEXTBOOK by the first day. Is that a problem?
A: No problem. Last-minute enrollments are welcome. I can provide scans of the first few pages until your student’s book arrives.

Q: I have more questions. Can we GET TOGETHER to talk?
A: Yes, please! I love getting together with students and their families to learn about their particular questions, concerns, and needs. Send me a time that works for you, and we can do a Meet & Greet session:

Orientación para padres
GERMAN 3 Das Mädchen ohne Hände does have a violent beginning, when the main character loses her hands, and involves the betrayal of the girl by her father. As is common in many fairy tales, the situation is (partially) restored at the end. If you feel that this topic is one your student might find troubling, feel free to have a look at a summary of the story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girl_Without_Hands. GERMAN 4 Erich Kästner’s autobiography is meant for both kids and adults, but it is heavy-hitting in a few spots when he talks about his mother’s psychological difficulties. We will not be including those passages in the excerpts we read. GERMAN 5 Käthe Kollwitz’s biography includes the death of her son in World War I and the death of her grandson in World War II. Her artworks portray difficult topics such as hunger, war, and revolt.
Requisitos previos
Students who have reached the intermediate level by taking German 1 and German 2 with me are ready for this class. Students who have reached the intermediate level in another way, e.g. Duolingo, other classes, home language, etc. are also
Lista de útiles escolares
+ Kontakte: A Communicative Approach, 8th edition, ISBN: #978-1259307423

We use the 8th edition of the textbook. Please be sure you do not purchase any other edition by mistake.

I highly recommend that students have access to a paper copy of the textbook rather than an e-book version. A brand-new hardback can be purchased from Amazon for around $70 and will enable your young person to do the exercises without the distraction of past students’ notes or answers. We use the textbook in German 1, German 2, & German 3, 4, & 5, so you will get a lot of good use out of it.

NOTE: You DO NOT need the “access code” that you may see mentioned in the Amazon listing.

+ all materials for Part 1 of the class will be provided by the instructor
