In both the German SL and HL courses, students use their experience in the language to learn, communicate and interact exclusively in German. In these dynamic language courses, students listen, read and communicate in German about important world issues and how they impact both us and the German-speaking world! These interactive courses help develop the linguistic and cultural competence of students through magazines, podcasts, news articles, literature, music, and film. Students engage on a personal level with native German speakers through email exchange and with classmates through active discussion, role-plays, and problem-solving scenarios!

The distinction between language SL and HL can be seen in the number of recommended teaching hours and the level of competency the student is expected to develop in receptive, productive, and interactive skills. The HL students are also required to study two literary works originally written in the target language.

Course Content
Course Content
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.
