Byron Nelson High School – German I Honors

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

German I Honors deepens and exceeds the traditional German I level course by including a more in-depth and faster pace study of the German language. German I Honors introduces students to the German language and German culture. Communication focuses on using the four basic language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing so students have ample opportunities to experience and practice German in meaningful ways to hold brief conversations. A student's proficiency level is developed through age-level appropriate and culturally authentic resources, high frequency vocabulary, and language structures to negotiate meaning through spoken and written text, and participate and respond to everyday life situations using a mixture of words and phrases and simple sentences. This course is enhanced with a variety of print, digital, audio, and audiovisual materials to support language development. Students in German I Honors are expected to reach a novice mid to novice high level of language proficiency at completion of study. Note: This course may be offered as a NISD Distance Learning course where students will use technology such as Chromebooks and Zoom to connect with their teacher and classmates digitally on a daily basis.
