They will study highlights of German-speaking artistic culture, including art and architecture.  \nStudents will explore the influence of the past on present-day German-speaking communities. Throughout their studies, they will learn the language in the context of German-speaking countries and the issues and influences which have shaped them. Students will study a text or a film.  \nAssessment tasks will be varied and cover listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.  \nTeach AS and A-level together  \nThe AS course is fully co-teachable with the first year of the A-level course, enabling flexibility for students as they plan their course of study and for teachers as you plan your teaching.  \n1.2 Support and resources to help you teach  \nWe’ve worked with experienced teachers to provide you with a range of resources that will help you confidently plan, teach and prepare for exams.  \nTeaching resources  \n[Visit](Visit aqa.org.uk/7661)[ ](Visit aqa.org.uk/7661)[aqa.org.uk/7661](Visit aqa.org.uk/7661) to see all our teaching resources.
