Lernziele: Level 1
Can-do Descriptors
Learning a new language can be a daunting task. We often focus on everything that we cannot say yet, rather than think of what we have already learned. Our perceived inadequacies tend to hamper our abilities even further. These self-evaluations aid in the realistic assessment of what can be achieved at each step in the process of foreign language acquisition.
Each learner is different, with certain concepts being easier to understand for some learners than others. At the end of each chapter, fill out the evaluation in order to see the areas in which you need to improve, as well as those areas in which you already communicate well. This will help you identify the language tools you still need to develop in order to communicate more effectively. This will not only help you in your German studies, but in all foreign language studies that you may someday pursue. The more you are aware of what you can already do, the better you will be equipped to articulate your goals and pursue them effectively.
