“America’s
leadership and national security rest on our commitment to educate
and prepare our youth for active engagement in the international
community. I call on schools, teachers, students, parents, and community
leaders to promote understanding of our nations and cultures by encouraging our young people to participate in activities that increase their knowledge of and appreciation for global issues, languages, history, geography, literature, and the arts
of other countries.” President George W. Bush
AATG National German Exam for High School StudentsThe AATG National German Exam for High
School Students is given every year in December or January for German levels II, III, and IV. It consists of 100 multiple
choice questions and test skills such as listening, grammar, and reading. For each level of German, there are two categories:
1.) native and 2.) non-native speaker · Over 10,340 students took the test nationally · The first time a national exam
of a modern foreign language has been administered in the history of the Spalding County School System. · Funded by a PIE Grant (Awarded in the Fall of 2006) · Funding for future years will be
provided by Foreign Language Dept. Funds. · 40 Students took the exam in Spalding
County. 10 at Spalding High School and 30 at Griffin High School.
I view this test as a great beginning for our program
here in Spalding County. I know that having now had the experience of giving the test once, I have a better
idea of what the test is about and how to better prepare my students for it in the coming years.
