The State of New Jersey expects students in Level 3 and 4H should be working in the intermediate range of language proficiency. Students will continue to develop the essential communication skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing through exercises and activities which are more sophisticated and varied. Students are expected to develop greater proficiency in communicating in German during spontaneous dialogues and on-demand writing. Cross-cultural understanding is promoted by students comparing and contrasting the language and culture of German-speaking countries to their own. Students enrolled in this course are expected to communicate primarily in German.
