Our German courses emphasize modern spoken German. From the first class meeting, students and instructors alike speak as much German as possible. Grammar is studied not as an exclusively abstract system, but as a reference base for active language use. The majority of classroom time is used speaking German, as opposed to talking about German in English. Culture is also an integral component of all our language courses and is presented through role play and activities while students are learning the language in communicative situations.

At Washington Academy of Languages we follow the natural sequence for acquiring a language: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Class time concentrates primarily on the first two elements. Videotapes are sometimes used in the classroom to enhance listening and speaking instruction. Reading and written homework are assigned on a regular basis and discussed and/or corrected in class. WAL students are usually able to communicate easily with native speakers at the level of grammar and vocabulary they have attained.

Textbooks for the first six levels of German: Di Donato, Robert, Monica Clyde and Jacqueline Vansant, Deutsch: Na Klar! 4th ed. New York: McGraw-Hill, Inc. 2003.

    Review of WAL, November 21, 2008

    I took a Spanish class with WAL and loved my instructor! The class was taught primarily in Spanish even though it was an introductory-level course. This was fantastic for providing the opportunity to learn the language by UNDERSTANDING the language. When the instructor would speak to the class in Spanish, we were forced not to just listen but to understand. When we practiced speaking, we were not just reciting lines from a textbook but rather communicating what we wanted to say using what we learned in class.

    The class format worked well for me, too. Evening classes are great for me as I work during the day, but they offer morning classes as well for those who have the time.

    Finally, I think it's great that they offer university credit for their language classes. I didn't need it, but it's a good idea for those who want to receive a transcript of their courses for their career or studies.
