DEUTSCH

The GOAL of the German classes at KML is to build confidence in students so they can feel comfortable taking risks in using the language.

Students will ...

use the vocabulary and structures they know to say what they want to say when they want to say it.--responding to cues if clarification is needed.

use strategies to comprehend what others are expressing.--willingly asking for clarification until they reach a level of understanding.

Offerings at KML
