The aim of this German revision course is to develop sound exam techniques while revising the AS content as per the AQA specification. Particular attention will be given to grammar and vocabulary related to the following prescribed topics:

  • Aspects of German-speaking society: current trends
  • Artistic culture in the German-speaking world: festivals, art, traditions
  • Describing a film: Techniques on writing about a German film

One hour each day will be devoted to the various aspects of German grammar which cause most difficulty. These will include: verb tenses; use of indicative and subjunctive; conditional and “if” clauses; use of infinitive; case system; passive; pronouns; articles; adjectives; adverbs and prepositions.

The remaining hours will be spent working on board-specific exam preparation as follows:

Paper 1: Listening, Reading and Writing

Listening Section

Students will be set tasks from past papers requiring nonverbal answers (e.g. true or false exercises) as well as responses in both English and German.

Reading and Writing Section

Students will be set exam-like tasks requiring non-verbal answers and responses in German. They will also be given translations tasks and cloze tests from past papers, i.e. exercises testing their knowledge.

Paper 2: Writing

Students will practise their writing skills and translation skills by answering exam-like questions based on the AS topics above. They will receive feedback and advice on how to write essays in German.

Paper 3: Speaking

As in the exam, speaking practice will include oral questions on articles printed on stimulus cards, as well as general  conversation on the AS topics listed above.
