German

What Will I Study?

The A Level German course explores a wide range of topics designed to deepen students' understanding of both the language and the culture of German-speaking countries. Students will study social issues and trends, including aspects of German-speaking society such as family life, the world of work, and multiculturalism. The course also examines political and artistic culture, with a focus on the creative arts, cultural heritage, and the political systems that shape German-speaking countries today.

In addition, students will engage with German literature and cinema, studying selected texts and films in detail to develop analytical and interpretive skills. A key part of the course is the individual research project, where each student selects a topic of personal interest related to the German-speaking world. This project promotes independent study and cultural exploration. Grammar is taught throughout the course to support the development of fluency and accuracy in both spoken and written German.

Additional Information

In Year 12, students are guided carefully through the transition from GCSE to A-Level and they are encouraged to adopt a much more independent approach towards their studies.

In Year 13, students develop critical insights into the contemporary society and culture of countries where German is spoken.

The development of these skills, together with their knowledge and understanding of the structure of the language, lay foundations for future study of German or of other languages at University.
