Description of the project
The institution provides an educational service to
high school students and adults throughout the province and to Saskatchewan
residents who are temporarily residing outside the province, co-operates
with the high schools of Saskatchewan by enrolling students in subjects
that may not be offered locally. The courses follow the prescribed Saskatchewan
high school curricula. The mission of the Correspondence School is to provide
individuals with life-long learning opportunities at the Grade 9-12 level
through 71 courses of distance education. During the coming year, the staff
will be involved in teaching, designing courses, and helping learners try
the new technologies. This course introduces the student to the German language,
its alphabet, the different combination sounds, drills basic vocabulary
and grammar, emphasizes the oral practice of listening to conversations
on tape, as well as speaking simple dialogues onto the tape. Whatever the
topic, the student is encouraged to express his/her own moods and feelings
in dialogues; the student gives more than a pat "yes or no" answer. In addition,
the student becomes familiar with some of the other German-speaking countries,
develops an appreciation for German culture by reading about the lifestyle,
listening to German popular folksongs and singing along in German. Students
taking this course require a cassette recorder.
