The second year of German is a continuation of the development of the three modes of communication. New vocabulary and more complex grammatical structures are learned along with important cultural topics. Advanced German Level II students are expected to reach a proficiency level of Intermediate Mid. Advanced German II will focus on the same TEKS prescribed by the State of Texas for the language level but will emphasize advanced application of listening, reading, speaking and writing skills. Students will be challenged with instruction designed at a greater depth in order to prepare for Advanced Placement (AP) and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses.
