The A-level course will enable exploration into a wide range of contemporary and historical issues, as well as the study of the rich and fascinating world of German Literature. Students will learn about and research aspects of modern society, current affairs, literature, culture, arts, and the history of German-speaking countries. We will review GCSE grammar and also look at more complex aspects of German grammar. Students will have access to magazines, films, works of literature and a wide range of other authentic and online resources, as well as a one-to-one speaking lesson with the German language assistant every week. Students are encouraged to take part in our work experience exchange programme to Trier and to take every opportunity to visit the German-speaking countries. There are many co-curricular options, such as study days, lectures and theatre visits. Recent events in lockdown have included two online lectures on Brecht’s ‘The Caucasian Chalk Circle’ and ‘Migration to Germany’ by professors from Leeds and Warwick University. Previously, we also attended the art exhibition on Klimt and Schiele at the RA, had a German film study day at the BFI and have had successes in the Oxford German Olympiad competition and King’s College essay writing competition. This year we also have a student who has gained a prestigious Dresden Youthbridge scholarship.
At least eight GCSEs or IGCSEs graded at 7 or above for entry to our sixth form in the subjects that you are taught at school. For students currently at CLSG, each subject has a standard entry requirement of Grade 7 at GCSE or IGCSE in that subject or a related subject as specified under each subject’s entry in this booklet. • At least a grade 7 in German at GCSE
Assessment: A level (2-year course): Listening, reading, translation and grammar, written responses to two pieces of literature or one piece of literature and one film and speaking. German language assistants: Students spend one period every week with the language assistant to help with oral preparation. This is on a one-to-one basis and is of enormous benefit, aiming to promote fluency in the language.
