Apply for this course

This course is for those of you who have completed two years of German. It is a very communicative course where you build upon what you have been learning in previous years. On this course you are encouraged to be creative with the language as there is less emphasis on grammar and verb tenses although you will still work on tenses and grammatical points. There is a lot of emphasis on communication and you will work on idiomatic expressions.

Please note that this course is planned to be delivered online using Microsoft Teams. Access details will be sent through upon course confirmation.

You will work on the past tense with more detail, using different verb tenses to narrate past events with detail. Reflecting on yourself as learners and your techniques, challenging any difficulties you have with the subject, etc. that need to be reviewed. You will then learn about the future tense and talk about what you hope will happen. Eventually all this will lead to work on the imperative to learn how to give instructions or advice which ultimately ends with your first contact with the subjunctive mode.

In order to avoid disappointment, it is advisable to enrol at least 2 ½ weeks prior to the course starting. We will confirm course information two weeks prior to the start date.

To enable you to enjoy the best online learning experience, you will require a suitable device such as laptop, or tablet. A mobile phone is not ideal for learning this way. Please email for further details oal.southandeast@abingdon-witney.ac.uk

Please note there will be no teaching sessions on 26/10/2021, 21/12/2021, 28/12/2021, 22/02/2022, 12/04/2022, 19/04/2022 & 31/05/2022

German - Higher Intermediate
This is not a course for beginners. Only people who know some German should sign up. This course is ideal for you if you have already undertaken the improvers year or studied German for approximately 120 hours.

Courses can fill fast, so please enrol early to avoid disappointment. Decisions on whether a course is to run are made two weeks prior to the start date - an email will be sent to you should there be changes to your course or if it is cancelled. Please check your inbox leading up to your course, including the junk folders. For anyone without an email account, our Admissions team will phone you instead.

For the first week of the course you will need to bring a valid form of identification; this includes passport, driving licence, debit/credit card, Birth Certificate or National Insurance card.

Please note - you should be 19 years old or over at 31st August 2021 prior to starting the course.
As the main textbook is used for the first three years it is likely that you have already purchased it. However if you are joining at this time then please expect to pay around the £25 mark to purchase one.

Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.

The rules on fee reduction are complicated, we would encourage you to talk to our Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to discuss these options. You can find more information on our Fees and Bursaries page - search "Fees and Bursaries" at the top of the page.

As this is a non-accredited course, there is no formal qualification. However, you will be asked to complete activities that demonstrate how you are progressing on your course.
Through the encouragement of your tutor you will use different techniques for your learning and will be assessed through a variety of methods from peer review to group discussion. Collaboration is critical to allow you to have fun whilst learning so there is emphasis on paired and small group work as your focus is on speaking and listening. To allow you to gain insight into different dialects there will be use of audio and visual tools to aid in this. There will also be some written continuation work to help you construct your learning from week to week.
