Hallo und Guten Tag!

*It's not too late to join this class now!*

Sprichst Du Deutsch? This German Beginner Class 2 is for learners who are continuing their German language expedition. In this 40-week course, learners will focus on vocabulary enhancement, reading/listening to texts, expressing themselves in German in speech and text production, and specific grammar topics. Learners will be assessed through their asynchronous work, participation in class, quizzes, and their projects (voluntary). 

Join late? No problem! You can join even when the class has already started.

This German High School class 2 is for learners who have already completed German 1/German for Beginners/German for Beginners Summer/Bootcamp or who have some prior knowledge of German. 

Why learn German?
Universities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are popular thanks to their expertise, so many students from all over the world choose to study in German-speaking countries. German universities often offer excellent Master Studies for a lower price than other universities.

During the live meetings, I will use virtual presentations and short videos to introduce the content followed by learner-centred activities such as role playing, exercises, and games. Tasks will be completed for personalized feedback such as videos and audio recording with questions, oral practice and the end-of-cycle projects. Learners will practice reading, speaking, and writing in each live meeting.  

In each lesson, we will cover the four skills 
- listening, 
- speaking, 
- reading, 
- writing,
with a strong emphasis on listening and speaking during the online session. 

We will 
- listen to short audio texts to train global as well as selective listening, 
- build up new vocabulary,
- prepare short everyday conversations in German
- practice pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar in an intensive and ongoing way,
- explore authentic situations and activities and train natural, spontaneous interaction. 

This class is highly interactive, and I will encourage every learner to speak as much German as possible during the course by creating a safe, inclusive, and warm atmosphere. My teaching style is flexible in order to meet learners' specific needs, preferences, and challenges. Oral communication is the key skill in this class, so we will focus on speaking and practicing little dialogues.

In our meetings, we will use different kinds of texts, comic strips, activities, exercises, drawings, photos, videos, reference materials, grammar tables, verb lists, and a glossary. In addition, I will also use interactive, digital, and print materials that I created over the course of the 18 years of preparing and assessing students in German.

Looking forward to seeing you in German for High School 2 !

Bis bald!
