German 2
For Educators
Teachers can use the complete Plus course curriculum for flexible instruction.
Course Summary
Building on German 1, develop conversational competency by discussing familiar topics such as celebrations, technology, real-life situations, cultural awareness, and more. Students expand vocabulary and grammar related to a variety of topics, including shopping, movies, texting, email, cooking, geography, and trip planning. In this course, students participate in technology-assisted interactive sessions throughout the term, engaging in spontaneous discussions in German alongside prompt instructor support and feedback.
This class is taught mostly in German with English scaffolds.
Curriculum
This is a two-semester course. Each semester requires a commitment of approximately 70 or more hours of coursework. While students may enroll in both semesters within the same term, UC Scout does not recommend this due to the intensive workload, especially during shorter terms like summer.
