ドイツ語を話そう - 上級会話と文化レベル 2 コース (12 ～ 17 歳)

This class is meant for students that completed Level 1 CONVERSATION course or an advanced level course and that would like to improve their comprehension and communication skills. (If you haven't completed the lower level courses or done an assessment with me please don't sign up for this class yet to guarantee student success). 

This class, taught by a native speaker, will focus on strengthening the self-confidence of the student to communicate which is vital in becoming eloquent German communicators. We will also strengthen the students’ reading and writing skills. Students will have the opportunity to watch selected pieces of German news and discuss. Lastly, the class will dive into German literature according to age level.  

I will have an arrange of material that can be covered, yet this class will be tailored afresh with each new class and student composition according to the specific students' interests. For conversation classes I like to keep the schedule somewhat flexible in order to accommodate the students strengths, passions and interests and in order to take any fear of speaking and build on the students' interests. Students will gain confidence and have fun holding short speeches and summaries of events. We will learn from each other. This is a fun class that focuses on conversation skills but we will also dive into reading some interesting books/texts and learn new cultural facts!
