Students continue to develop proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in German. Emphasis is on a thorough tense study, grammatical structure, and language development. Discussion of German culture, history, and literature will be introduced in context with learning the language.
Most of the class will be conducted in German, and students will be expected to be active participants. The language introduced and practiced will be meaningful to the students, as they will each have opportunities to draw upon personal experiences when speaking in class, working with a small group, or working individually on an essay or project.
