This is a 7-page document which acts as a short frequency dictionary, tailored specifically to the verbs used in the new GCSE German specifications (it is most closely based on AQA and Edexcel). Verbs are presented in short sections, starting with the most frequently used in Reading/Listening texts. For irregular verbs, key forms are given. For all verbs, sentences putting the verbs in context are provided. This allows learners to 1) see how the verb works in a sentence (perfect for reflexives/separables) and 2) take an educated guess at the meaning. NB modal verbs are not given as a separate section, but are included in very many of the example sentences, reflecting usage in GCSE-level texts. If students are familiar with all the verbs in this document, they will succeed at GCSE.

Edexcel GCSE German Revision Quickies: Vocabulary list and four accompanying worksheets for students preparing for Edexcel GCSE German. Theme 1: Identity and culture Subtheme: Daily life (customs and everyday life; food and drink; shopping; social media and technology (use of, advantages and disadvantages)) Using this pack: These worksheets are perfect for independent work as they recycle the same set of vocabulary used in Worksheet 1, and answers are included. They could be used to kickstart revision, giving students a starting point for vocabulary learning which relates directly to the exam. Students could use the vocabulary lists to first assess their own vocabulary knowledge (by testing themselves or a partner, and ticking known vocabulary off). Teachers may wish to use these worksheets throughout normal teaching after finishing delivery of each theme/subtheme, or synoptically to assess knowledge or provide a framework for revision.

This is a series of reading exam questions in the literary extract format, compiled from papers currently available (in 2020) across the exam boards for GCSE German. Download includes two booklets in pdf format: Teacher version: 32 pages of questions with the answers immediately after each question (for some of the simpler questions I haven’t included answers, but for ones where there is ambiguity, e.g. written answers in English, it is always included). Pupil version: 39-page booklet containing the same questions as above, with the answers compiled at the end. Teachers can choose not to include the answer section when printing if desired. NB the page numbers from both booklets should match - in the Pupil version there are gaps/blank pages where the answers appear in the Teacher version.
