GERMAN

GERMAN I

The functionally driven scope and sequence of German I gives students reasons to communicate. As a result, they develop proficiency in the four language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and build their critical thinking skills. Grammar is presented in context to enhance the students’ ability to communicate with accuracy and confidence. Authentic dialogues, interviews, photos, and videos develop the students’ appreciation and understanding of the German-speaking world. Semesters: 2 Prerequisite: None Credit: 1/2 per semester

GERMAN II

This course continues the German I program and enhances the development of students’ linguistic proficiency. The four language skills and situational grammar continue to progress and develop students’ competency as effective communicators.
