沈阳德语：German Language growing at CIS

German Language growing at CISS

At the Canadian International School of Shenyang we pay great attention to the mother tongue of our students and second language opportunities. With the addition of German first language ( IB Language and Literature) this year , our program is expanding in August 2020-21 school year to offer a Language and Culture Club for German PYP students Gr.1-5, then an elective full course of instruction in German Second Language (IB Language Acquisition) for interested non-German first language students from Grades 6-12 . I am very happy to develop this opportunity for our students!

In the event of finding yourself at an airport in Germany, and wanting to ask something, would it not be easier to do so by using the German language? For example, Wo ist der Check-in? (Where is the check in counter?) Kann ich eine Cola haben, bitte? (May I have a Coca-Cola, please?) The German and English language have many similarities.

假如在德国机场，想问点什么，用德语问不是更容易吗？Woist der Check-in? (登机牌在哪里办理？ Kannich eine Cola haben, bitte?(请给我一杯可乐，好吗？)德语和英语有许多相似之处。

想象一下这样一个场景:你坐在咖啡店里，遇到了一个人。你想和他说话，表明你会说他的母语吗？或者你想在德国的一所大学学习一年作为交换生吗？如果你会说德语，你的申请可能会更容易通过，你不需要从零开始。德国有一些优秀的大学，值得你在那里交流经验。

考虑更大的国际背景:如果你已经工作了，请记住，其他国家也有人在做同样的工作。一方面，德国需要技术人员，另一方面，许多德国公司也在中国设立了子公司。这些公司从你的简历中了解到，你不仅擅长电子工程，而且精通另一种语言，他们会对你感兴趣。学习德语的好处可以用上面的例子来形容。

如果你是德国公民，你就是欧盟的一员，德国是欧洲的中国。在那儿工作，不需要证明自己的语言能力。但是，如果你不是欧洲公民，你需要确认你的语言能力才能获得长期签证。在全球范围内，德国是欧盟最富有的国家，排名也很高。高铁、历史文化古迹等世界级设施，我们的生活质量非常高。德国北部自然风光秀丽，南部有完美的旅游胜地。有科隆、杜塞尔多夫、柏林和慕尼黑这样有趣的城市。我是一个民主国家，来自世界各地的每个人都住在德国。

In Germany, we also have excellent literature and a rich culture. Should you decide to learn the German language, we have a good variety of language learning materials through which you will be exposed to our culture. Even on an A1 level, you will already learn how to order a coffee, some aspects about jobs, the city Berlin, the weather, the human body, and general health. At an A2 level, for example, you will learn more about Europe, family, and cultural aspects. Books for advanced students deepen knowledge about Germany in order to get a broader understanding of what this country has to offer. This level is done step by step and not at a too quick pace. Language courses are often offered by the famous Goethe Institute, available in many countries, so we are proud to have our school also providing this instruction as an IB credit at CIS Shenyang.
