German is spoken by over 100 million people worldwide. It was the language of the first printed book as well as the language of such famous people as Mozart, Beethoven, Freud and Einstein. Following the American War of Independence, German was nearly chosen as the official language of the United States, but it lost by just one vote.
Middlebury Interactive offers a comprehensive portfolio of German courses with both online and brick-and-mortar components. The offerings provide varying levels of immersion methodology to accommodate different world language objectives and learning styles. Courses are designed with the goal of language proficiency and aligned with national standards set by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
Students focus on the four key areas of world-language study: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The extensive use of authentic video, audio, images and texts allows for a contextualized and interactive experience with the vocabulary and linguistic structures. Courses actively engage students in completing a variety of activities, practices, tasks and assessments. Cultural information relevant to German-speaking countries and communities and robust cross-cultural reflections are infused throughout the materials from beginning to end.
