German

Course summary

You will continue to build on the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, although these will not be assessed in four papers, but across three different exams at the end of the two year course. The AQA A level in German covers six broad topics, some building on familiar areas such as family and technology, while others are new such as immigration and reunification of Germany. We will cover all areas of grammar, to enable you to gain a sound knowledge of all language structures, and develop your competence in applying them in your own writing and speaking. We will use predominantly German in the classroom, and support you to become more confident and fluent speakers of German. In addition, over the course of the two years, you will study a film and a book in German, where you will apply all of these skills, as well as learn about the wider issues around Germany and being German. IS THIS COURSE FOR ME? If you enjoy working out how sentences fit together and ask, or want to ask, questions about the language. This course allows you to learn to speak more fluently and be able to discuss wider issues in German.
