German Language B HL/SL gives students the opportunity to reach a high level of proficiency in the four primary skills of language learning: reading, writing, listening and speaking. The very nature of German B is such that it challenges us to consider our role in the international community and explore issues of internationalism. Those seeking to take this course at the HL level will need to distinguish themselves from their counterparts in degree of refinement with regard to both grammar control and overall expression. The IB German B language student will be assessed in a variety of ways to display both performance ability as well as language proficiency. Upon completion of year 1, the anticipated proficiency level is intermediate-mid. Upon completion of year 2, the anticipated proficiency level is intermediate-high. These SL and HL courses are two years in length, in which students are required to complete all the internal assessments and conclude with students completing the required IB Exam.
