An inspiring and culturally relevant course has been developed, based on feedback from teachers, students, subject associations, academics and advisors.  \nThe qualification has a clear structure, which will enable students to develop advancedlevel, transferable language alongside a deeper appreciation of the culture of Germany and other German-speaking countries. There is an emphasis on promoting understanding of grammar in order to allow spontaneous, creative use of language to suit different purposes. The themes are engaging and relevant, combining familiar and new content. Popular texts and films have been chosen, as well as some less well-known titles, both classical and contemporary.  \nThis Getting Started guide provides an overview of the A level specification,to help you get to grips with the changes to content and assessment, and to help you understand what these mean for you and your students.  \nWe are providing a package of support to help you plan and implement the specification.  \n● Planning: mapping documents to show how your old course matches the new A level; an editable course planner; a student guide; and schemes of work which you can adapt to suit your department  \n● Understanding the standard: specimen papers; example student work with examiner commentaries  \n● Tracking learner progress: specimen papers to support formative assessments and mock exams  \n● Personal support: MFL Subject Advisor  \n● Teaching and learning: a range of guides containing practical approaches to areas, such as analysing films and literature, conducting research and essay-writing; film and literature PowerPoints to support you with teaching; and ideas for the independent research project.  \nThese support documents are available on the GCE 2016 German pages on the Edexcel website.  \n2.1 How has A level changed?  \nChanges to A level qualifications  \nFrom September 2016, A level German will be a fully linear qualification. This means that all examinations must be sat (and non-examination assessment submitted) at the end of the course. More information about the implications of the move to linear assessment is given on page 13.  \nChanges to Assessment Objectives  \nThe A level languages Assessment Objectives have been revised.There are two main changes to the Assessment Objectives:  \n• A new AO4 has been introduced. This requires knowledge, understanding and critical and analytical response – to cultural and social issuesrelating to targetlanguage communities.  \n• AO3 has a greater proportion of the marks than in the previous specification, and has a subtly changed emphasis – there is greater emphasis now on active application of grammar in generating new, independent language.  \n\n| AO1\u003Cbr>20% | Understand and respond:\u003Cbr>● in speech to spoken language including face-to-face interaction\u003Cbr>● in writing to spoken language drawn from a variety of sources |\n| --- | --- |\n| AO2\u003Cbr>30% | Understand and respond:\u003Cbr>● in speech to written language drawn from a variety of sources\u003Cbr>● in writing to written language drawn from a variety of sources |\n| AO3\u003Cbr>30% | Manipulate the language accurately, in spoken and written forms, using a range of lexis and structures |\n| AO4\u003Cbr>A level\u003Cbr>20% | Show know","cbCair3vX6CLs6XV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair3vX6CLs6XV","pdf",680552,27,"English","# Introduction\n# What’s changed?\n## How has A level changed?\n## Changes to Edexcel GCE German\n# Planning\n## Planning and delivering linear A level courses\n## Suggested resources\n## Delivery models\n# Content guidance\n## Themes and sub-themes\n# Assessment guidance\n## Implications of linear assessment\n## Breakdown of Assessment Objectives\n## Assessment overview\n## Further details on the speaking assessment","[{\"question\":\"What does “fully linear” mean for A level German from September 2016?\",\"answer\":\"All examinations, and any non-examination assessment, must be completed at the end of the course.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main changes to the Assessment Objectives in the 2016 specification?\",\"answer\":\"AO4 has been introduced for critical and analytical response to cultural and social issues.
