German AP-400

Students at this advanced language level are expected to demonstrate greater and more sophisticated use of the four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Those content/skill areas, which are outlined for the Advanced Placement Test by the College Board, form the basis for the course of study. At the completion of this course, students are required to take the Advanced Placement Test, and they may receive college credit based upon their scores and the requirements of the college of their choice. History, literature, and culture are taught primarily through the active use of the German language. In addition to a common textbook, students are introduced to materials from newspaper articles, magazines, books, and Internet sources. These documents span a variety of topics (political, economic, social, cultural, and others) to familiarize the students with contemporary issues facing Germany as well as the European community. The teacher uses German almost exclusively in the AP German class and encourages students to do likewise. A proficiency exam will be given at the end of the course.
