• The Year 9 German course is a full year-long program that focuses on introducing students to the basics of the German language and its structure. The curriculum emphasizes developing students' ability to speak at an elementary level about personal topics such as themselves, their family, pets, school life, and hobbies. Students will be encouraged to improve their oral, reading, writing, and listening skills. The course will also include cultural aspects and traditions to facilitate comparisons between life in New Zealand and German-speaking countries.

• Students also explore the following achievement objectives:

  • 1.1 greet, farewell, and thank people and respond to greetings and thanks; 

  • 1.2 introduce themselves and others and respond to introductions; 

  • 1.3 communicate using days of the week, months, and dates; 

  • 1.4 communicate about personal information, such as name, age, nationality, and home;

  • 1.6 understand and use a range of politeness conventions (for example, ways of thanking people, apologising, excusing themselves, complimenting people);
