Aim high!

Recently we came up with this blurb for our new German II course and I wanted to share. Very soon (Fall 2009) it will be time to deliver! Whew! The way I see it, we either pull this off or crash and burn. I’d prefer the first option.

A new and improved KET GERMAN II course is launching in Fall 2009! The new GERMAN II incorporates a modular approach students can use to customize aspects of their learning. Course participants navigate through a variety of instructional segments which are organized according to theme or topic. The result is a fast-paced—sometimes quirky but always fun!—way to learn. Dramatizations, music, interviews, authentic film clips, and slides shows are all part of the mix. In addition students complete online activities, and converse live with a tutor on a regular basis. This approach presents language in context to help students grasp meaning quickly and begin to communicate in German with confidence. Email John Krueger at jkrueger@ket.org to find out more.
