WORLD LANGUAGES German I
German I is intended for students with no previous knowledge of the German language. By the end of the course students will be able to employ simple sentences and expressions when dealing with various situations in daily life (at the supermarket, in public offices, at the doctor’s, at the office). This introductory course provides the foundation for further study in the language and about country and culture.

German II
Refining and broadening the language skills necessary for a successful foreign exchange–in particular, oral proficiency–is the focus of second-year German. Students work on mastering a variety of complex grammatical concepts, but the emphasis continues to be using grammar as a tool to communicate more effectively
and accurately. The course is taught
exclusively in German, except for the very occasional lapse to discuss culture or current events. Students are expected to gradually transition to using German exclusively in class. Completing German II is generally a requirement of being able to participate in the exchange trip to Germany.

German III
Topics at this level increase in sophistication, and by the end of the first semester, students are expected to discuss exclusively in German such broad issues as the media, cultural stereotypes, military service, and environmental problems. By second semester, students at this level also begin their study of authentic texts in earnest, working with poems, fairy tales, radio plays, and other short literary forms. Additionally, students in German III tackle most of the remaining major grammatical structures, including the preterite tense, the passive voice, and various uses of the subjunctive. Students who have completed German III typically find they are well prepared for participating in the exchange trip to Germany.

German IV/V
The curriculum in the advanced German class rotates each year to avoid repetition for those students who continue in their German studies. Each year a comprehensive grammar review is combined with reading works of literature and improving the complexity and accuracy of the students’ writing. Anyone wanting to take the AP test is given the opportunity to supplement the regular program to prepare for the exam.
