Ready-Made AQA GCSE German Lessons (Higher Tier)
This is part of a set of ready-made lessons tailored specifically to the AQA GCSE German Higher Tier specification with first teaching from 2024. These lessons cover all the essential grammar and vocabulary outlined by AQA.
These lessons are designed to accompany and support the AQA GCSE German Higher Tier textbook, which is published by Oxford University Press (OUP) and approved by AQA. While the lessons follow the AQA and OUP two-year scheme of work and are aligned with the sequence of grammar points and vocabulary in the textbook, all tasks, activities, and content within the lessons are entirely original and independently created.
Each lesson is designed to be both engaging and effective, with activities that not only support learning but also make it fun (I hope!). The lessons are structured to improve exam technique, with a focus on building skills through practice.
Lesson Structure
Every lesson begins with a retrieval activity to reinforce prior learning.
New grammar and vocabulary are introduced in an accessible way.
A variety of interactive tasks are included to ensure student engagement.
Activities also practice key skills needed for AQA GCSE success, such as reading aloud, dictation, role play, describing a photo, and writing tasks.
Each lesson concludes with a plenary to consolidate learning.

This is a poster or a handout for students books or to go on the classroom wall. It is classroom instructions in French e.g. hand out the books, sit down, put your hand up etc. It can be useful for students to help support them to understand their teacher, it can also be useful for teachers to remind them to speak more French during the lesson.
Building a strong vocabulary is essential for excelling in any language. Whether you’re learning a new language or looking to expand your word bank, these tips will help your students master vocabulary efficiently and enjoyably.
I have kept this deliberately so that it can be used for any language, French, German, Spanish, English. I’ve used it with them all and just do the tasks in the language I am teaching.
It’s tips and strategies to help learn vocabulary. Can be used as a whole lesson, part of a lesson or as a revision segment.
