Aims & Learning Objectives: Continued consolidation and enhancement of the language already acquired in German Stage 7A and 7B
Content: This unit contains a variety of listening, reading, speaking and writing tasks covering appropriate grammatical structures and vocabulary.
Teaching materials cover a wide range of cultural, political and social topics relating
to German speaking countries and may include short works of literature or extracts from longer works. Where numbers permit, some subject-specific material may be included, covering the relevant scientific and technological areas and/or business and industry.
There will be discussion and analysis in the target language of topics derived from teaching materials with the potential for small-scale research projects and presentations. Audio and video materials form an integral part of this study, along with newspaper, magazine and journal articles.
Students are actively encouraged to devote time and energy to developing linguistic proficiency outside the timetabled classes, by additional reading, links with native speakers and participating in events at which German is spoken.
Audio and video laboratories are available to augment classroom work.
