Course outline

What is the course about?

This course aims to further develop your conversation skills and writing skills and to discuss a wide range of topics at a more advanced level.

What topics will we cover?

A range of different topics will be introduced from everyday life, school and education, food/drink and going out, current affairs, music etc. Grammar will be consolidated and more complex grammatical structures will be introduced, such as: past tenses, passive, verbs + prepositions, use of infinitive.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

-understand the gist of more advanced audio-visual materials/ films
-read more advanced texts/ articles
-gain greater fluency and confidence in speaking
-discuss everyday life in Germany and more abstract issues
-use more complex grammatical structures orally and in writing.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

For students with good speaking, reading and writing abilities at least at GCSE level. For further details of the specific foreign language skills required for this level, please see the languages self-assessment chart, using the link at the top of this page. You can also find the chart at the start of the languages section in our course guide. You will also need to be able to understand basic spoken and written information in English (e.g. simple instructions, course documents) and be at ease with the use of numbers for daily activities (e.g. using money, telling the time etc).

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

The course is based on the communicative approach:

- active students’ interaction
- emphasis on speaking and listening skills
- pair and group work
- role plays
- use of realia, pictures and authentic material
- use of audio-visual techniques when appropriate

Please note, students are expected to participate in oral classroom activities and to do some homework as and when required.
