A-Level German aims to develop your GCSE skills to a much higher level of competence. You will be encouraged to speak and write German more fluently and more accurately than before and to listen to and read complex text with ease and, dare we say, enjoyment. Your study includes grammar which is taught in English by highly experienced teachers. However, the majority of the lessons are in German and cover the topics below: Aspects of German-speaking society • The changing state of the family • The digital world • Youth culture: fashion and trends, music, television Artistic culture in the German-speaking world • Festivals and traditions • Art and Architecture • Cultural life in Berlin, past and present. Multiculturalism in German-speaking society • Immigration • Integration • Racism Aspects of political life in the German-speaking world • Germany and the European Union • Politics and youth • German reunification and its consequences Grammar A-Level students will study the grammatical system and structure of the language. The end of course exams will test their use of accurate grammar and structures appropriate to the tasks set, drawing from the lists in the specification. Works Students study one book and one film from the lists in the specification. Individual research topic Students conduct individual research on a subject of personal interest, relating to the country or countries where the language of study is spoken.
A good GCSE grade is always the desirable foundation for study in the Sixth Form. However, a natural interest in the subject and a strong determination to succeed by working hard are equally important requirements.
