You will teach German across KS3 and KS4, helping students develop their skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing.

At KS3, you will establish strong foundations in vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar, gradually encouraging students to communicate with greater independence. At GCSE, you will prepare pupils for the demands of the examination specification, developing their ability to understand authentic material and produce accurate spoken and written German.
