NCEA Level 3 German
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Nicole Polke.
Freud, Beethoven, Nietzsche, Mozart. Any of these ring a bell?
They should, because they’re the world’s greatest thinkers, innovators, and leaders in our lifetime. Learning German might not turn you into a Mozart, however, you’ll be able to understand more of their creative and thinking process by learning the language at NCEA Level 3.
We will explore in-depth identity and culture through flavours and festivals in the German speaking world.
We will discuss current events and trends, and focus on environmental problems we face and what steps we can take to solve these serious issues.
In this course you will engage in sustained interaction and produce extended text in German. You will listen to, read and refer back to information, ideas, and opinions through increasingly complex and varied materials.
Through exploring the views of others, and sharing personal perspectives you will develop greater cognitive flexibility, better problem solving and higher order thinking skills.
Recommended Prior Learning
You should have at least 14 credits from Level 2 German, OR the approval of the Head of Department of Languages.
