GERMAN<br />
Edexel I<strong>GCSE</strong><br />
What would I study?<br />
You will study a range of topic areas including: Holidays, Social Activities, Health, the World of Work and Home<br />
Environment.<br />
You will have a conversation lesson every other week, in a smaller group and with a native speaker.<br />
What skills would I develop?<br />
There are four skills in language learning: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. All four are tested at I<strong>GCSE</strong><br />
level. You will, of course, develop your confidence, your ability to present information and your analytical skills<br />
through learning a language.<br />
How will I be assessed??<br />
There is no coursework or controlled assessment. You will complete an oral examination towards the end of the<br />
Spring Term in Year 11 and you will sit an examination in each of the other skills at the end of the course.<br />
Are there any special requirements for doing this course?<br />
Everybody must do at least one modern foreign language but it may be Spanish or French instead of German.<br />
You need a good German-English dictionary.<br />
Are there any restrictions on choosing this option?<br />
No.<br />
If I don't take this subject at I<strong>GCSE</strong> level can I take it up again later?<br />
At many universities, if you are studying another language, you can take up German from scratch.<br />
From where can I obtain further information and when is most appropriate?<br />
From your present German teacher during lessons or at another mutually convenient time.<br />
