So, complete this GCSE social networks and technology listening lesson practice as homework, revision, distance learning work…

    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. Unfortunately, I am still struggling to find authentic topic-related listening material from other sources. Despite using the sites in the German Listening Websites for GCSE list I put together a couple of years ago! This month, I am working on the ‘post-education and work’ topic in my German GCSE course. I wanted some supplementary listening material to help my students practise their listening skills. So, I wrote a transcript and had a native male speaker record it. In addition, I added some activities. These focus…

    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…
