    GCSE German Intermediate Listening Lesson on Post-School Options in Germany I needed a post-education and work listening lesson for my German language students this week.

    36 Ingredients for Speaking and Writing To Access Higher Grades GCSE German

    Students often ask me, 'Miss, how can I get a higher grade in my GCSE German speaking and writing?' I tell them there are a number of factors to consider, but generally, I tend to guide them to the MFL Progress Ladder, which I wrote about last year. I suggest that in addition to answering the question (!) they should include as many elements as possible from Grade 1- all the way up to their target grade. I advise them to add 2-3 different examples of each element, as far as possible, in any and all of their GCSE German writing and speaking to have more chance of accessing the…

Hi! I’m Sabina – an insanely passionate, qualified French and German teacher and tutor, as well as an experienced EFL teacher. I have over 13 years teaching experience in private, online, secondary and further education settings. I LOVE TEACHING LANGUAGES AND SEEING MY STUDENTS’ CONFIDENCE IMPROVE!

* build vocabulary and grammar knowledge in a simple way
* … and whatever else they want to work on!

* KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level German
* Home-educated students learning French & German
