Hörenswert: Listening Activities for GCSE German
Over 80 activities based on 24 recordings covering contemporary and engaging topics: Family and Friends, Healthy Living, Teenage Problems, Modern Media, School, Work Experience, Education and Work: Future Plans, The Relevance of Modern Foreign Language Learning, Berlin, Recycling in Germany, TV in Germany and German Festivals.
Very comprehensive coverage. Authentic listening materials. Lots of GCSE practice for students. C Humphries, German Teacher & Independent Reviewer
Brilliant learning structure to support and engage students who find listening a challenge:
- Extensive pre-listening activities prepare students and build their confidence
- Monologue listening activity provides a chance to ‘tune in’
- Dialogue listening activity practises listening skills in a natural context
- Post-listening writing or speaking activities consolidate learning and build on the topic, ensuring students feel well-prepared to tackle it in future.
Written by an experienced teacher who is also a native speaker, the activities are designed for use in class, cutting teacher preparation time and giving valuable listening support. Native speaker recordings build students’ pronunciation skills.
Excellent tool for teachers of German. A wide range of vocabulary, grammar points, questioning and task types. Will also provide students with a wealth of knowledge about the culture of Germany. S Bremner, MFL Teacher & Independent Reviewer

What do teachers say about this resource? (5461, 5462)
Definitely get some of these fantastic ZigZag resources, they are useful all the way through the course.
Overall, I think this is an absolutely brilliant resource which has clearly been developed by an experienced teacher. I would definitely purchase it as a teacher and I would recommend it to other practitioners of German. I was genuinely excited reading through this excellent resource.
I think that it is a superb resource with lots of exercises, not just for listening, but also for reading, grammar and speaking. It boosts students confidence by offering lots of exercises to practise the always difficult and nervewrecking listening exam.
It truly is a comprehensive resource. All the major topics are covered and any teacher would be spoilt for choice.
