What do teachers say about this resource? (10936)

This resource is well-designed. The topics covered are relevant to all specifications. I found myself intrigued and engrossed by the storyline proposed. It makes the topics come alive and also will make the students think about the different aspects of the specification in a more relatable way.

I believe this resource will allow students to apply knowledge of the different topics in a situation they may relate to. I like the range of activities offered (listening and reading activities matching the type of exercises needed on Paper 1 and Speaking/writing activities being more creative and also working on research skills needed for the Independent Research Project).

By making the topics relatable and by enabling practice of different skills needed for their A Level exam, I believe this resource ticks many boxes.

I believe this resource matches and interprets the specification well. It is clear the author has researched each topic and found a clever way to integrate each topic in an engaging way that is relevant to students.

It includes extension tasks, answers and transcripts. Perfect for tired teachers!

What do teachers say about this resource? (10658)

I think that this is a real triumph, a breath of fresh air in the world of A Level German resources. It offers the student of A Level German a taste of internationalism, a clear message that learning a language (or 2 or 3) and travelling to use this language within the international community, will surely give you greater empathy with and understanding of the world. I liked so many aspects of this resource, from the map on the first page, informing where the adventure will take us, to the invitation to research independently an equivalent NGO, the way that the varied structure of each unit mirrors the sort of requirements encountered in German A Level comprehension testing, the opportunities for creativity, such as the Leserkommentare on page 15, the open-endedness of the resource which can motivate the gifted and talented. Linguistically, it is superb and its structure is also admirable. I really enjoyed reading through this resource

J Turner, Ind. Languages Consultant & Peer Reviewer

Super idea, something a bit different from the standard topic by topic approach. I particularly liked how an authentic story can contain so many of the topics and areas needed covering in the A level course.
