Accelerate Education is pleased to share the release of the following new or updated World Language courses for SY25-26.

German 2 is a new World Language course that reflects best practices identified by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). German 2 aims to further students’ language acquisition and to provide students with necessary skills and intercultural understanding to enable them to communicate successfully in an environment where German is spoken.

Speaking and listening skills are enhanced through recommended real-life voice activities, while listening skills are honed through online dialogues. Reading and writing skills are developed through access to completion of meaningful activities. Reading of culturally related articles of interest and responding to reading in the target language reinforces authentic language development and fosters cultural understandings through exposure to native speakers and their daily routines.
