The course provides a structured and systematic revision of the essential GCSE/IGCSE topic areas, vocabulary and grammar. Each day will involve practice in all four GCSE/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 GCSE/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 Structure
For more advanced students:
- Conditional and If clauses
- Use of the infinitive
- Passive

These grammatical concepts will be explained in the context of the topics and themes outlined below to help students become adept at using them in conversational and written contexts.
