What the college says

From the AQA German A-level specification: This qualification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills gained at GCSE. It constitutes an integrated study with a focus on language, culture and society. It fosters a range of transferable skills including communication, critical thinking, research skills and creativity, which are valuable to the individual and to society. The content is suitable for students who wish to progress to employment or to further study, including a modern languages degree. The approach is a focus on how German-speaking society has been shaped socially and culturally and how it continues to change. Students will develop their knowledge and understanding of themes relating to the culture and society of countries where German is spoken, and their language skills. They will do this by using authentic spoken and written sources in German. The choice of works (literary texts and films) offers opportunities to link with the themes so that for example aspects of Die Wiedervereinigung are relevant to the film Das Leben der Anderen and aspects of Multiculturalism in German-speaking society are reflected in the novel Das Fundbüro by Siegfried Lenz. The specification provides further comprehensive detail about the content covered during the two years of study.
