The course provides a structured and systematic revision of the essential IGCSE topic areas, vocabulary and grammar. Each day will involve practice in all four IGCSE skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) related to a specific section of the syllabus. German will be used as much as possible in order to consolidate the students’ awareness of the rubrics they will face in the IGCSE examination. Translation practice is also given special attention in the revision sessions.

The following aspects of grammar will be covered:

• Articles
• Cases and case endings
• Adjectives (gender and number agreement, position, comparisons)
• Nouns
• Verbs (present tense, perfect tense, imperfect tense, future)
• Pronouns (relative, personal, possessive)
• Sentence StructureFor more advanced students:
• Conditional and If clauses
• Use of the infinitive
• Passive
