Deutsch 5

The goal of the Deutsch V is to develop communicative and cultural skills relating to the German language. Deutsch V students will continue their development of German language skills and prepare for further study of the German language at the college and university level. Listening and speaking are the primary goals in language learning. These communicative skills will enable the language student to socialize, provide and acquire information, express personal feelings and opinions, and get others to adopt a course of action. Reading and writing skills in the foreign language are also emphasized to develop the student's communicative abilities in the language. Effective communication in the language also involves meanings that go beyond words and require an understanding of perceptions, gestures, folklore, and family and community dynamics.
