Introduction

This Scheme of Work provides one possible model for teaching 11-16 German, with a 3 year KS3 and a 2 year GCSE, leading up to the AQA GCSE German Higher. This model is a suggestion only and there are a number of valid ways of structuring your course. The model should be adapted by centres to work for their individual timetables and is not prescriptive. This course planner is provided in editable Word format to make adaptation as easy as possible.

The example models below are based on the following principles:

A 14-week Autumn Term, followed by two 12-week terms per academic year.

A focussed revision period at the end of the course - the summer term of the final year of study would be used for revision and final examination preparation for linear assessment and 100% final examinations.

The number of hours allocated to GCSE German each week will depend on the individual centres timetable, but here an average of 2 hours a week has been assumed as this fits with research carried out with schools, and fits 120 guided learning hours.

The time allocated to each of the elements of the specification reflects the weighting of that element, as shown in the table below all skills have an equal weighting and are worth 25% each in the final assessment, so equal amounts of time should be spent on each skill when covering the 3 themes in the AQA specification. The three themes are: Identity and culture; Local, national, international and global areas of interest, Current and future study and employment. All themes and topics must be studied in the context of both the students home country and that of countries and communities where German is spoken.
