Specifications designed for you and your students

We have worked with teachers and universities to design stimulating content to enable students to develop their linguistic skills alongside their understanding of the culture and society of the countries where German is spoken.

We've selected a broad area of study and prescribed certain aspects for closer examination.

Students study social and technological change. They will study highlights of German-speaking artistic culture, including art and architecture.

Students will explore the influence of the past on present-day German-speaking communities. Throughout their studies, they will learn the language in the context of German-speaking countries and the issues and influences which have shaped them. Students will study a text or a film.

Assessment tasks will be varied and cover listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
