    Das deutsche Schulsystem – Listening Activity

    When I was at school I needed all the help I could get, to get my head around the German school system! Therefore, I’ve put together a resource, which could either be used as revision, or as an introduction into das deutsche Schulsystem. Why not use it in your German GCSE lessons with students taking either the Higher paper or the foundation paper when teaching the topic of ‘School’? You could also use it in your German lessons with private GCSE German students, which is what I did. What are the resources included for ‘das deutsche Schulsystem’? You will find an audio file (MP3) and a direct transcript (word document) that you can download…

  • 8 German Listening Websites for GCSE

    Why do GCSE students need German listening practice? My GCSE German students are fantastic at writing, they get on very well with reading and do well on speaking when they have plenty of vocabulary on a topic. The GCSE skill that many of them struggle the most with, however, is German listening. Due to limited time in lessons, it is vital for students to have the opportunity to practise their German listening outside of the classroom to tune their ears to the speed native Germans speak, since “what pupils reportedly find most problematic about listening is the pace of recorded material.” Barton (2006).In addition, this practice will allow learners to…

About

TheIdealTeacher.comJe me présente!

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!

How do I help my language students and tutees?

* assess their current strengths and weaknesses and personalise each lesson to their needs
* develop students’ confidence from the first lesson
* improve exam skills
* develop communication skills (speaking, listening & translation)
* build vocabulary and grammar knowledge in a simple way
* … and whatever else they want to work on!

Who do I teach?

* Beginner to advanced EFL and ESL students
* Business English students
* KS3, and GCSE French students
* KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level German
* Home-educated students learning French & German
* Distance learning French & German language learners
* Beginner French and German students looking to make fast progress

Which qualifications do I help with?

* French GCSE & French iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel, Pearson, Eduqas, OCR, WJEC & CIE)
* German GCSE & German iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel, Pearson, Eduqas, OCR, WJEC & CIE)
* A-Level German (AQA & WJEC) / Pre-U German
* CEFR Levels A1-C2

As well as teaching languages, I love creating French and German KS3, GCSE, Pre-U and A-Level resources and sharing teaching ideas to save other MFL and language teachers time.

p.s. I would just like to clarify that ‘TheIdealTeacher’ is simply the website’s name and it’s what I aspire to be and what I am working towards. I am an enthusiastic modern languages teacher with the sole aim of improving my students’ language  acquisition with innovative teaching methods to promote progress and improve confidence quickly.
