A Level German is an exciting and thought-provoking course. It not only equips students with the ability to communicate in German but also fosters transferable skills including critical thinking and creativity. In addition, the course develops an understanding of German culture and society and students explore the influence of the past on present-day German-speaking countries. Topics that are covered include Youth Culture, the Digital World, Art and Architecture, Festivals and Traditions, Immigration, Racism, the Political System, Reunification, and Berlin. Participation in discussions and debates, on a range of topics, is a key element of the course, as well as taking part in a wide range of interactive learning experiences. Students also read and study “Der Vorleser” and complete a film analysis of the film “Goodbye Lenin!” The speaking exam also offers students the opportunity to complete an independent research project on a topic of their own choice related to German-speaking countries. This is excellent preparation for university-based tasks. Students completing the A Level in German have gone on to study German or Linguistics at university. Students are also able to study German alongside many other subjects such as Business, Maths, Engineering, Law, and many more. Being able to speak more than one language opens up a huge range of career opportunities. A recent survey by the CBI revealed that German is the most sought-after foreign language by UK employers.
