Second year German focuses on the further development of communication skills.

Instruction includes oral proficiency through TPRS*, responding to teacher-directed questions, and participating in various storytelling activities. Students will gain a deeper listening proficiency through dictations, stories, and video. Some traditional methods and activities will be included as well. Students will read and create complex short stories and skits to build reading and writing skills.
