Y12 German, Term 1 2011

By now you have acquired basic survival skills in German. This year you will become more competent and achieve personal independence in the language.
You will continue to develop the four language skills (listening, reading, speaking and writing).

The main topic for this year is Young People (Jugendliche). We look at different aspects of their life (relationships with friends and parents, leisure time, health and sport, future plans etc...), using the textbook Genau Senior and various other resources. We will also look at an spect of German history through a film and learn more about the German speaking world.
