KS3 & KS4 German curriculum

In this unit, pupils apply known grammar with known and new vocabulary in the context of global inequalities and environmental challenges. Most prepositions and conjunctions are revisited, along with consolidation of the future and conditional tenses and question formation using wo-compound questions words, for example wobei, woran. Pupils learn about loneliness, poverty and mental health in Germany, the German energy crisis and rewilding . Pupils practise all this in listening and responding to longer passages, extended spoken production and asking and answering spoken questions.
