Spring Term 1 - Weeks 0-6
School and Future plans
In this unit, students work in the context of school and future plans. Students also have the opportunity to learn about the Swiss school system and to describe their school day.
They learn about the German school system and school day and compare them with those of the UK. They use the perfect, present and future tenses to talk about what they have done this year at school and what they will do next year.
They also talk about different jobs and careers, learn the masculine and feminine forms of them, and say what job they would like to do in the future, using Ich möchte … werden.
They talk about part-time jobs, how much they earn and what they are saving for, using für + accusative and um…zu….
Learning strategies covered include deducing the meaning of unknown words and applying knowledge of language patterns.
Cultural focus German and Swiss school systems;
