Germany has an incredibly strong economy and a wealth of international links. Its contribution to research, music, art, design, film, dance, philosophy and theatre is considerable. International law, careers in business, science and tourism - German can be studied in combination with just about any other subject at degree level e.g. Engineering, Law, Philosophy, Psychology. German can be a useful additional skill in any career, as it ranks among the top 10 most frequently spoken languages in the world and plays an important role in many countries, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. A modern language is a highly-regarded life skill. Competitive areas such as law, medical schools, management consultancy, accountancy, international press agencies, the media, advertising, the Foreign Office and the performing arts actively seek students with a broad base of A-levels, able to offer a modern foreign language at a higher level. Employers value not only the knowledge of the language and culture, but also the transferrable analytical and organisational skills. For further reasons on why it is beneficial to learn German, please visit the Goethe Institute website at http://www.goethe.de/lrn/prj/zgd/en867247.htm .
The new A-level German course is linear and will be assessed at the end of year 13. The assessment consists of three Papers. Paper 1: Listening, Reading and Translation into English & German (50%) Paper 2: Writing two essays in German. One essay on a set text from a choice of two questions and one question in German on a set film from a choice of two questions (20%) Paper 3: Speaking on the individual research project and on one of the sub- themes from the core content e.g. Aspects of German-speaking society or Artistic culture in the German-speaking world or Multiculturalism in German-speaking society or Aspects of political life in German-speaking society (30%) Internal assessment will be conducted at regular intervals to track and support students’ progress throughout the course.
