skills. The student will be guided in recognizing the interrelationships
of languages and will develop a cultural appreciation of the German speaking
world. The focus of this course is on low novice proficiency.
German 2
continues to develop the oral skills with added emphasis on reading and
writing skills. The focus is on the development of mid to high novice
proficiency. Expansion of vocabulary and grammatical structures
continues. Contrast between English and German strengthens the language
learning process. Culturally related activities of selected German
speaking countries or regions will be explored.

for talented language students beyond those offered in the regular German
2 class. The course extends the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills

skills, accurate comprehension of contemporary and cultural reading passages;
it expands the use of grammatical constructions and vocabulary and begins
