What do teachers say about this resource? (6386)

A fantastic resource for the comprehensive study of the movie. An excellent investment. Would buy it again and can highly recommend it.

It has a large variety of exercises, covering content, vocabulary and grammar. Many of the activities are tailored to the new exam specifications.

It is very comprehensive and saves lots of preparation time to create any resources. The students find it extremely helpful. Definitely a thumbs up from teacher and students.

There aren't many resources available, and this is by far the most comprehensive one covering all aspects necessary for success in the exams.

This is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. It saved me an immense amount of time and gave me confidence that the students will be prepared for their exams in the best possible way.

It matches the AQA specification exceptionally well. The tasks cover a wide range of activities similar to tasks set in the exam papers.

I really like this resource because it is extremely detailed in its look at the film and its importance to German culture. In dealing with the film’s sensitive topic of Fascism the resource succeeds in exploiting the elements that make this film so watchable and so frightening at the same time.
