German A Level

Course Overview

German at A Level is an exciting opportunity to achieve a high proficiency in one of the most widely spoken modern languages worldwide.

Northgate Sixth Form’s purpose-built Language Centre provides our students with access to the latest ICT facilities to support their language learning and their need to stay in touch with the latest international issues. Study is also supported and enriched through a joint trip with History to Berlin in Year 12

At the start of the first year the emphasis will be primarily on language skills and the acquisition of vocabulary, structures and grammar; we will then focus more on the in-depth study of the society, culture and heritage of the societies where the language is spoken.

Lessons are conducted for the most part in German. The textbooks AQA A Level, Kerboodle and authentic German materials are used. The units will be assessed at the end of Year 13.

 






"I would 100% recommend doing a language because it opens so many opportunities that you would otherwise never have … It’s also a smart career move – native English speakers with any foreign language skills at all are very hard for employers to find!"
