L3GERC

Level 3 German

Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Hamling.

This course is through correspondence ONLY and the requirement is that students are native speakers of German

Ākonga consolidate and extend their German language skills and further develop their understanding of life in Germany. There is an emphasis on advancing ākonga’s ability to communicate verbally and through writing, and ākonga extensively build on their vocabulary and grammar.

Topics explored are theme based and focus on everyday situations, including aspects relating to social and school life and looking at the environment, youth and future careers. Social and economic relationships between New Zealand and Germany are discussed alongside a broader investigation into cultural issues where ākonga learn about Berlin, Germany’s multi-cultural population and other German-speaking nations.

Delivery Modes: This course is accessed through the online learning environment, My Te Kura. Ākonga will be required to make and submit audio and/or video recordings, so a microphone and camera or mobile device are essential.


You will need to have a conversation with Mrs Hamling before you are approved to do this correspondence course.
