Disclosure Document
This class focuses on communication (speaking, writing, listening, and reading) in German and exploring German-speaking cultures. By the end of the school year, students will be able to communicate on a novice-high proficiency level, which means:
Students communicate using words, lists, and simple sentences to ask and answer questions, to handle simple situations related to everyday life, and to talk about other subjects. They can create their own sentences with the language, but not consistently. They can handle short social interactions using phrases and simple sentences, but may need help or visuals to keep the conversation going.
