Excerpt
Notes for Teachers
This resource contains examples of Listening and Reading questions.
There are five photocopiable pages for each of five different levels of listening and reading. These are in the style of the easier questions in Foundation Listening and Reading, harder questions in Foundation Listening and Reading, the hardest part of Foundation Listening and the easiest part of Higher Listening known in this resource as the Crossover Section, the easier questions in Higher Listening and Reading and the harder questions in Higher Listening and Higher Reading AQA German GCSE - Specification B (Modular) Module 2. Answers are provided, so pupils could mark their own work if you wish.
Each section can be converted into a mark out of five, although the actual raw marks vary from section to section, and from paper to paper. This may help you to determine which level your pupil should enter. It is a good idea to let all pupils start on Foundation Paper A, even if you are sure they are a higher level. You can quickly move them on to the next section if they are successful. A good indication for success at higher level is full marks in the Crossover Section and half marks in Higher A and B.
Charts are provided for you to track the progress of individual pupils.
The exam rubric has been included in the AQA Reading, for although some of it is more relevant to other parts of the exam, the way the srudents may approach learning these expressions matches quite closely the way they may increase knowledge of vocabulary generally for the reading exams.
You may like to consider whether you want pupils to use dictionaries or not in working through these papers. Not using them would be a truer reflection of what they have to do in the exam. On the other hand, if you are using the papers to teach rather than assess, you may think it appropriate to allow dictionaries. They can be a useful tool for building up knowledge.
Although using this and other ZigZag Education German Modular resources you will given your students plenty of practice for the exam, and you will have covered much of the vocabulary which will come in the exam, students will need to meet more than the pages of listening and reading included here. You will need to provide them with a variety of unheard recordings and unseen passages at the levels of difficulty encountered here, to give them adequate practice both in the approach to the exam and acquiring more knowledge. These practice papers may be most useful in making the student aware of the exam board's questioning style.
A section has also been included for the student about how to approach listening, reading and speaking and on how to acquire greater skill and more language knowledge. You may find it advantageous to spend some time working with your pupils on these skills, using other recordings and texts to start with. There is also more in depth guidance on the specific requirements of the speaking exam.
