German Cultural Awareness Powerpoint

Our Year 7 pupils have now started to learn German as their second Modern Foreign Language and we are delighted with the enthusiasm that has been displayed so far!

Pupils started off by researching what they could about the German language and culture and came up with some amazing facts...

Please take a look at our cultural awareness PowerPoint presentation with your son / daughter and let them talk you through what they have found out.

Asset Languages Pre-Assessment revision guides - French and German

These revision guides will direct you to look at and work through various sections of both Linguascope (www.linguascope.com) and Languages Online (www.languaesonline.org.uk). These are intended for you to revise vocabulary, and the topics on the sheet cover most of the vocabulary you are likely to see in an Asset assessment.

If you also need to work on your grammar, especially your tenses if you are doing Intermediate Speaking or Writing, then Languages Online also has very good grammar sections in both the French and German sections.

Best of luck with your Assessments!
