What do teachers say about this resource? (11478)
On the whole, I think this is a great resource, which will stretch and challenge A Level students and provide deeper understanding of the topic of immigration and integration, which is part of the A Level curriculum.
This resource is clearly structured and easy to use for both teachers and students. It provides extra reading and listening material for the A Level examination as well as accompanying comprehension, translation and writing/speaking tasks and a glossary of key words and phrases for some of the units. As such it constitutes a good go-to resource for the busy German teacher, but could also be used as a self-study pack by students who would like to extend their knowledge and practice their skills independently. The texts are topical and interesting, and I am particularly impressed with the sound and video files which are linked. They are very well researched and add colour and depth to a topic that can be quite challenging to teach. I particularly like the links to the websites of the German government and other relevant institutions which encourage students to research further. These could also provide a good starting point in preparing for the Independent Research Project.
