Two versions of a GCSE German speaking preparation booklet, one with sample answers and one without for students to prepare themselves. Both booklets are higher level. The student booklet has lines under each question to guide them as to how much they should prepare. Originally based on AQA, but will still be useful for other exam boards. A similar booklet for foundation is also available.

This is a reading activity aimed at Year 10/11 on the topic of “Social Issues”. It focuses on the FSJ (Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr) so is ideal for the part of the course on “voluntary work”. The reading text itself is quite challenging (as it is adapted form an authentic resource), but I have also included a vocab list and underlined the words in the text which are included on it. There is also a set of comprehension questions to work through.

An extra easy version of my general conversation booklet for students who get overwhelmed when faced with too much. Each question is provided with a very simple writing frame to help structure very simple one or two line answers. I have also cut out a lot of the more difficult topics such as poverty, charity work and environment. I will be giving this booklet to my students who, at the moment are even struggling to get a grade 4, as they have no idea where to even start with their speaking preparation.
A three page resource detailing facts and figures that will be useful for students to know for the speaking exam. Each page deals with one of the sub topics (Immigration, Integration and Racism).
This resource is based on speaking card G from AQA’s specimen speaking tests. I have transcribed the questions the examiner asks and left spaces underneath for students to write their own answers. After this, I plan to let the listen to the actual recording to see how they did in comparison to the candidate and get them to correct any mistakes in the transcript.
