German B1.1 strives to bridge the gap between intermediate and advanced competence in German. This class is taught mostly in German and students are expected to use German as the language of communication in the classroom. Extensive time is dedicated to the study of advanced grammar (the passive voice, reflexive verbs, the genitive case, relative sentences, adjective endings, imperfect, and prepositional phrases) and emphasis is placed on the expansion and strengthening of students’ reading, writing and speaking skills. At the end of the course, students will be given the opportunity to sit an external examination to receive the European language certificate corresponding to their current level.
