Students learn to use, understand and communicate a language, both in spoken and written form. Through the language, the student will learn the cultural heritage of other lands and become acquainted with customs and thoughts of other people. Also, the study of another language enhances one's awareness of the structure of the English language. Career opportunities for students with second language skills will be emphasized throughout the curriculum. Although German is not offered at Lynbrook, it may be taken by Lynbrook students at Cupertino High School.
Transportation is the responsibility of the student.
The students learn structure through explanation and by practicing patterns of sound, order and form. Learning activities include repetition drills, questions and answers, games, songs, recordings and videos with use of VCR programs. The individual elements of the language provided by the learning activities are used by students to communicate their own ideas. Cultural materials are introduced. Oral proficiency is the goal of the total 4-year program.
