The German Department at K.E.S. prides itself on the following: • Academic rigour • Emphasis on grammatical development • Excellent preparation for a study of German at University level • Study of Literature and Film • Development of independent learners Students are expected to develop independence in their learning at A Level. A dedicated resource room is available for our students and includes satellite television, films, books, magazines, and various audio materials. All students attend lessons with a Foreign Language Assistant twice a week to practice and improve their spoken word. A study of literature will form part of their studies. All students are encouraged to undertake work experience in Germany, whilst other opportunities that have arisen in recent years have included residential theatre trips to see the play studied at A Level.
