In the level 4 German course, students are expected to use the language in conversation, class discussions, in oral and written reports and research projects. Reading includes literary works, social and cultural material, magazines, and newspapers from the foreign country. Grammar is reviewed, and the finer points are analyzed through work with original compositions, summaries, reports, advanced exercises, and some translation activities. The aim is greater precision in self-expression. Students are expected to understand and write from dictation material heard for the first time. The use of the foreign language in school-wide and community projects is encouraged.
