In German IV, students continue to develop their proficiency in the three modes of communicative competence: interacting with other German speakers, understanding oral and written messages in German, and making oral and written presentations in German. They are able to exchange and support opinions on a variety of topics related to contemporary and historical events and issues. They comprehend spoken and written German texts from a variety of authentic sources as well as produce compositions containing well-developed ideas on various topics. Students use German to access information in other subject areas and to compare and contrast cultural elements of countries where German is spoken with their own.
