Students begin their introduction to German by focusing on the four key areas of world language study: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The course represents an ideal blend of language learning pedagogy and online learning. Each unit consists of a new vocabulary theme and grammar concept, reading and listening comprehension activities, speaking and writing activities, multimedia cultural presentations, and interactive activities and practices which reinforce vocabulary and grammar. There is a strong emphasis on providing context and conversational examples for the language concepts presented in each unit.

In this course, students will:

• Be actively engaged in their own language learning
• Become familiar with common vocabulary terms and phrases
• Comprehend a wide range of grammar patterns
• Participate in simple conversations and respond appropriately to basic conversational prompts
• Analyze and compare cultural practices, products, and perspectives of various German-speaking countries
• Take frequent assessments where their language progression can be monitored
