1 Introduction
1.1 Why choose AQA for GCSE German
1.1.1 A specification designed for you and your students
We’ve worked with a wide range of teachers, assessment experts and languages associations to
create this specification. We want to make sure it offers your students the opportunity to develop
their German language skills to their full potential, equipping them with knowledge and confidence
they can use both in and outside of the classroom.
We have focused on ensuring that our assessments are clear, accessible and discriminate
effectively, and that our content is engaging and relevant.

1.1.2 Languages beyond the classroom

We want to provide a specification that you can enjoy teaching while delivering the assessments
and results you and your students deserve.
The importance of attracting students of all abilities to languages has been a high priority as we’ve
designed our content, and we believe our approach will help you inspire and engage your students.
We know that the culture of the wider German-speaking world is one of the aspects of language-
learning which excites students and brings the subject alive and it was important to us that this was
clearly represented. This is why we’ve designed a specification that can help build your students'
cultural knowledge alongside their language skills.

1.1.3 Supporting your teaching

We know assessment and we are here to answer your questions and always provide up-to-date,
expert advice. We’re here to support you throughout the year, helping you prepare for each exam

enthusiastic people with the same goal – helping students to get the results they deserve. Be it
having questions answered, facilitating conversation or mutual support, our community is second
to none.

3 Subject content
3.1 Themes
The specification covers three distinct themes. These themes apply to all four question papers.
Passages in the Listening and Reading assessments will be set in the context of the target
language countries and communities. In the Speaking and Writing assessments, students will be
able to respond according to their own interests and experiences.
The texts and tasks set for the assessments will be based on the prescribed vocabulary list in
Appendix 2 and the prescribed grammar in Section 3.2.
It is not intended that the themes and topics will be specifically referenced in all assessment tasks.
Students will be expected to use the prescribed vocabulary and grammar across a range of
contexts and assessment tasks.

3.1.1 Theme 1: People and lifestyle

Theme 1 covers the following three topics:
• Topic 1: Identity and relationships with others
• Topic 2: Healthy living and lifestyle
• Topic 3: Education and work

3.1.2 Theme 2: Popular culture

Theme 2 covers the following three topics:
• Topic 1: Free-time activities
• Topic 2: Customs, festivals and celebrations
• Topic 3: Celebrity culture

3.1.3 Theme 3: Communication and the world around us

Theme 3 covers the following three topics:
• Topic 1: Travel and tourism, including places of interest
• Topic 2: Media and technology
• Topic 3: The environment and where people live

3.2 Grammar
GCSE students will be expected to develop and use their knowledge of grammar throughout their
course.
The grammar requirements for GCSE are set out in two tiers: Foundation and Higher. Students are
required to use their knowledge of grammar from the specified lists, appropriate to the relevant tier
of entry. Students entering Higher tier assessments will be required to apply all grammar listed for
Foundation tier in addition to the grammar listed for Higher tier.

Visit for the most up-to-date specification, resources, support and administration 11
Students will be expected to use the prescribed grammar across a range of contexts and
assessment tasks.
The lists describe grammatical features of the most widely used standard varieties.
The lists are written from the point of view of English-speaking students of the language, and so
include some reference to certain cross-linguistically complex relations with English.
Students are required to demonstrate both receptive and productive knowledge of the grammar
from the list (although the derivational morphology laid out in the grammar annex can only be
included for Paper 3 Reading).
‘Grammar’ is defined as including the morphology (inflectional and derivational) and syntax (rules
of word order, relations between words and obligatory use of specific features). The vocabulary
lists contain the lexicon that is needed to apply the grammar.
Some grammatical features can be perceived as ‘grammar’ or ‘lexicon’ – these items are listed in
the vocabulary list, as stipulated in the DfE Subject Content. The vocabulary list also specifies
highly irregular forms within a grammatical subsystem (ie, subparts of paradigms where only some
forms are irregular), as laid out in the Grammar requirements. This is because forms, such as
irregular stems, are likely to be learnt and retrieved as individual items rather than as part of a
broader grammatical system. Listing them in the vocabulary list, therefore, reflects the pedagogical
attention required for these highly irregular forms.
Items given in brackets in the grammar list which are prefaced with 'eg' are illustrative, ie serve
only to clarify the description of the grammar features, and such items are not included in the
vocabulary list. In contrast, items that are not prefaced by 'eg' are comprehensive, providing all the
examples of the grammar that are included in the DfE Subject Content, and all such items are
contained in the vocabulary list.
Note that the English equivalents of some of the grammar are provided. This is relevant when
testing students’ ability to work from English to German (eg, in translation tasks).

3.2.1 Foundation tier

3.2.1.1 Noun phrases

Formation of compound nouns, including final word gender rule:

• many compounds add additional connecting letters: -e, -s/-es, -n/-en, -ens, -er (eg,
Arbeitsstunden)
• some omit -e/-en from the first word (eg, Schulbuch, Wohnzimmer)
The omission or unnecessary addition of connecting letters will not be credit-bearing. Compounds
can also be adjectives (eg, dunkelgrün) or verbs (eg, ausgehen).

Formation of feminine person nouns

Highly frequent irregulars will be listed in the vocabulary list as separate items, eg, Anwalt/
Anwältin.
Person nouns that decline like adjectives will only be used in the nominative:
• male person nouns add -in to make the feminine form (eg, Freundin, Lehrerin,
Amerikanerin).

 AQA GCSE German 8662. GCSE exams June 2026 onwards. Version 1.0 8 December 2023

Formation of plural nouns

Highly frequent irregulars / low frequency patterns will be listed in the vocabulary list, eg, Busse,
Firmen:

ü)
• feminine and neuter nouns ending in -nis add -se
• some neuter nouns add (e)n.
The omission or unnecessary addition of umlauts in plurals will not be credit-bearing. Some nouns
are not used in the plural (eg, Obst, Eis). The overgeneralised pluralisation of such nouns will not
be credit-bearing.

Beim Essen trinke ich nie.
Use of listed prepositions in da(r)- and wo(r)- compounds in main clauses (eg, Sie steht daneben;
Worauf wartest du?).

3.2.2.6 Derivational morphology

For Reading only. Derivational morphology listed here indicates that even if only the base form (eg,
krank) is listed in the vocabulary list, a derived form that follows one of the patterns listed here (eg,
Krankheit) may be included in reading texts. Or if only the specific affixed form is listed, the base
form may be included in reading texts.
Note, if derived forms are included in listening material or required for production, they will be listed
separately in the vocabulary list.

Uniformly applicable derivational morphology

Suffixes:
• add -chen, -lein to create nouns, only where the English equivalent meaning is ‘little’ (eg,
Häuschen, Kätzchen), or implies endearment (eg, Brüderchen).

Other high frequency patterns

Morphology that changes the part of speech

Suffixes:
• Add -heit or -keit to adjectives/adverbs to create nouns, only with the English equivalent ‘-ty’
or ‘-ness’ (eg, Krankheit, Notwendigkeit).
• Add -los to nouns to create adjectives, only with the English equivalent ‘-less’ or meaning
‘without’.

3.2.3 German sound symbol correspondences.

The list which follows specifies key differences in sound spelling correspondences between
German and English which students will need to learn at GCSE to be able to read out loud and
transcribe with sufficient accuracy at this level.
It is not an exhaustive list of the all sound-spelling correspondences in the German language.
Where a letter or combination of letters is pronounced (or a sound spelt) in approximately the same
way in German as in English, it is not listed.
The use of hyphens indicates the position of the letters in a word, when position is relevant to the
sound: xx- (at the beginning of a word); -xx- (in the middle of a word); -xx (at the end of a word).

3.3 Vocabulary
Students should learn the GCSE German vocabulary list (Appendix 2) and will be expected to use
this vocabulary across a range of contexts and assessment tasks.

3.3.1 Composition of vocabulary content

1. Students are expected to know 1,200 lexical items for Foundation tier, and a further 500 lexical
items for Higher tier. Students are also required to know words which can be regularly inflected
and (for Paper 3 Reading only) regularly derived from listed lexical items using the grammar
specified in section 3.3.
2. Because no vocabulary is specified for KS2 or KS3, the vocabulary list is comprehensive and
makes no assumptions about vocabulary previously taught.
3. The vocabulary lists include, as part of the 1,200 or 1,700 items, the words listed in the DfE
subject content Annex E. These are the words which are referenced in the grammar in section
3. They include irregular forms of high frequency verbs and other parts of speech.
4. In addition to the 1,200 and 1,700 items, the vocabulary lists contain :
a. 30 short phrases that are multi-word phrases in German
b. 20 items to refer to relevant geographical or cultural places/events, including the names of
countries to be known receptively and productively.
5. For Reading only:
a. Higher and overlapping tier texts in Paper 3 may include a small number of words outside the
vocabulary list. English meanings of such words will be supplied adjacent to the text for
reference. No more than 2% of words (rounded to the nearest whole word) in any given text
may be glossed in this way.
b. For both Foundation and Higher tiers, all proper nouns (such as cities or countries) that are
not on the vocabulary list and are not deemed to be easily understood, can be glossed or
explained in an adjacent note.
c. Up to 2% of words (rounded to the nearest whole word) of any given text can be comprised
of cognates which are not included in the vocabulary list. Cognates are words in which the
substantial majority of letters are the same in English and the assessed language; they have
the same meaning in both languages and any difference in spelling should not impede
understanding for students entered for GCSE German.
6. Words with multiple meanings but with the same part of speech will be listed as one entry in the
vocabulary list. All English equivalents that could be tested (eg , in questions that require
working from English to German) are provided.
7. The vocabulary which students will be expected to know, for both comprehension and
production, will be compiled with close and explicit reference for each item on the list to
frequency of occurrence in the language. This information about frequency has been taken from
Tschirner, E. & Möhring , J. (2019). A frequency dictionary of German: Core vocabulary for
learners (2nd ed.). London: Routledge.
8. At least 85% of the 1,200 and 1,700 words selected has been drawn from the 2,000 most
frequent words occurring in the most widely used standard forms of the language. In some
cases, more than one spelling is in common use, including where recent spelling reforms have
taken place. In such cases, tolerance is shown for both versions of the spelling, eg der Fluß /der
Fluss.
The vast majority of lexical items listed as vocabulary are single word vocabulary items. Where a
compound word or multi-word phrase translates a single English word, it is counted either as a
separate lexical item in the main vocabulary list, or as one of the 30 multi-word phrases. However,

20 Visit for the most up-to-date specification, resources, support and administration
 AQA GCSE German 8662. GCSE exams June 2026 onwards. Version 1.0 8 December 2023

where a compound word or phrase can easily be understood from its components, and where the
components are already included in the list, the compound word will not be included. Easily
understood from its components means that the literal translation of the component parts
unambiguously gives the meaning in English. An example of an easily understood compound word
or phrase in German is Hunger haben. An example of a compound word/phrase in German that is
not easily understood is es tut mir Leid.

4 Scheme of assessment
Find past papers and mark schemes, and sample papers for new courses, on our website at
aqa.org.uk/pastpapers
This specification is designed to be taken over two years.
This is a linear qualification. In order to achieve the award, students must complete all
assessments at the end of the course and in the same series.
GCSE exams and certification for this specification are available for the first time in May/June 2026
and then every May/June for the life of the specification.
All materials are available in English only.
Our GCSE exams in German include questions that allow students to demonstrate their ability to:
• draw together their knowledge, skills and understanding from across the full course of study.

4.1 Aims and learning outcomes

Courses based on this specification should provide a coherent, satisfying and worthwhile course of
study. They should encourage students to develop confidence in, and a positive attitude towards,
German and to recognise the importance of languages. They should also provide a strong
linguistic and cultural foundation for students who go on to study German at a higher level post-16.
Through studying GCSE German, students should develop their ability and ambition to
communicate independently in speech and writing with speakers of the language for authentic
purposes and about subjects which are meaningful and interesting to them.
The study of German at GCSE should also build students’ confidence and broaden their horizons,
enabling them to step beyond familiar cultural boundaries, develop new ways of seeing the world,
and better understand relationships between the foreign language and the English language.
It is important that students following a GCSE German course should become familiar with aspects
of the contexts and cultures of the countries and communities where the language is spoken.
Courses based on this specification must encourage students to:
• learn and use the range of vocabulary required for the tier at which they are studying as
specified in the vocabulary list
• learn and use the grammar specified to understand and produce meaning in written and oral
modalities. The grammar to be learnt is set out in Section 3
• learn and apply the principles by which spelling represents sounds in standard or widely used
forms of the language, and use clear and comprehensible pronunciation when speaking the
language
• use the language they are learning both receptively and productively, in spoken and written
forms, for a range of audiences and purposes, in different genres and in formal and informal
contexts which are relevant to their current and future needs and interests, having regard to
the likely experiences of a wide social range
• be able to recall and use language in different situations and be able to move between
German and English.

Visit for the most up-to-date specification, resources, support and administration 23
This specification in German, in line with the DfE Subject Content, requires students to:
• understand written texts in German. Texts will predominantly focus on the defined vocabulary
and grammar for each tier and will be of limited complexity at Foundation tier
• understand spoken extracts comprising the defined vocabulary and grammar for each tier
which are delivered at a pace which is no faster than a moderate pace, where each word is
clearly discernible (as appropriate to pronunciation norms for each language), and which do
not contain extraneous distractions or interruptions
• undertake dictation of short, spoken extracts (including some vocabulary from outside the
vocabulary list) with credit for accurate spelling
• write text in German in a lexically and grammatically accurate way in response to simple and
familiar stimuli
• translate in writing short sentences or texts, from German to English and vice versa, using a
range of the vocabulary and grammar specified for each tier. In this context, translation
means an appropriate and sufficient rendering of the meaning of the original language
• infer, by using knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar specified for each tier, plausible
meanings of single words from outside the vocabulary list when they are embedded in the
context of written sentences
• speak using clear and comprehensible language to:
• read aloud a short written text in German and undertake a short unprepared conversation
relating to the text
• undertake a Role-play, including asking and answering questions, simulating a context
such as a social conversation, where instructions about what to say are unambiguous;
• talk about visual stimuli and extend this conversation into a short unprepared interaction.
Spoken and written language (for comprehension and production) will be of limited complexity at
Foundation tier. At Higher tier students will be expected to understand (in listening and reading)
and produce (in speech and writing) language at a higher level of complexity. The complexity of the
language will be in both cases appropriate to the level of study. Complexity in this sense means the
extent to which written and spoken language uses features such as multi-clause units (eg, relative
clauses), pronouns, especially multiple pronouns, multiple verbs in one sentence or clause, long
sentences, or morphology and syntax (eg, word order) which is very different to English in form
and/or function.

4.2 Assessment objectives

Assessment objectives (AOs) are set by Ofqual and are the same across all GCSE German
specifications and all exam boards.
The exams will measure how students have achieved the following assessment objectives.
• AO1: understand and respond to spoken language in speaking and in writing
• AO2: understand and respond to written language in speaking and in writing
• AO3: demonstrate understanding and accurate application of the grammar and vocabulary
prescribed in the specification.

questions.
• Students will have two minutes’ checking time at the end of the test to check their work.
• An example will be provided in the question paper only where it is necessary to indicate to
students how a particular question should be answered.
• In Section A, each item will be heard twice and pauses for students to read the questions
before the item is played and then to answer the questions will be built into the test recording.
• In Section B, the dictation, students will hear each sentence three times and pauses will be
built into the test recording.
• Students will be allowed to make notes at any time during the test, including the reading time.
• Access to dictionaries is not permitted at any time during the test.

4.4.1 Foundation and Higher tier

In Section A, students’ understanding of spoken language will be tested by a range of
comprehension question types in English, requiring non-verbal responses or responses in English.
The tests will contain some items which are common to both tiers.
The responses will be assessed according to a detailed mark scheme. The appropriate mark(s) will
be awarded if the student has satisfactorily communicated his or her understanding.
The test at both tiers will consist of a variety of short and longer spoken pieces of language,
comprising the defined vocabulary and grammar for each tier which will not place an undue burden
on memory at any time.
Students will be required to identify the overall message, key points, details and opinions from
items such as announcements, short conversations, bulletins, podcasts and spoken descriptions.
In Section B, students will undertake a dictation exercise of short spoken extracts (including some
words from outside the vocabulary list) with credit for accurate spelling. At Foundation tier, the
dictation will consist of a minimum of 20 words. At Higher tier, the dictation will consist of a
minimum of 30 words. At both tiers, two words from outside the vocabulary list will be included
within the dictation.
Students will hear the dictation sentences three times: the first time as a full sentence, the second
time in short sections and the third time again as a full sentence. See the dictation assessment
criteria (page 32).

4.5 Paper 2: Speaking

Students may be entered for either Foundation tier or Higher tier but they must enter at the same
tier for all four skills.
25% of the marks for the qualification
A window of up to five weeks will be timetabled for the test, during which schools/colleges will be
free to test their students at any time. The window will be timetabled to run in April and May. The
teacher may open the Speaking test materials up to three working days in advance of the first day
of the specified test period in order to prepare for conducting the tests. The Teacher’s booklet will
contain a Speaking test sequence chart which will show which Role-play, Reading aloud and Photo
card each student must be allocated.
Detailed instructions for the teacher will be issued prior to the test period. Online training will also
be available to ensure teachers are wholly familiar with the requirements and format of the tests.
The confidentiality of the test materials must be strictly maintained prior to and during the period of
the tests.
Access to dictionaries is not permitted at any time during the test or the supervised preparation
time.
Students will be allowed to make notes, on an Additional answer sheet, during their supervised
preparation time and take them into the exam room to use at any point during the test. There is no
restriction on the number of words or the material (eg conjugated verbs) which the notes may
contain. They must hand the notes into the teacher-examiner at the end of the test. The notes must
be stored under secure conditions until results day, after which they must be disposed of.
The test is conducted and audio-recorded by the teacher and marked by an AQA examiner.
Teachers are expected to give students the opportunity to respond fully to all tasks (being aware of
the recommended length of each task specified below) to ensure that each student is able to
access the maximum number of marks available. Students will be assessed on the quality of the
responses they can produce within the maximum allocated time (nine minutes for Foundation tier
and twelve minutes for Higher tier).
Equal credit will be given for any language used by the student which is beyond the defined
content but that fulfils the task requirements.
Students should not be disadvantaged on the basis of their gender identity and/or how they refer to
the gender identity of others in their exam responses. Students’ preferred ways of referring to
themselves and others through the use of pronouns, gendered language and grammatical
agreements will be credited by examiners, regardless of whether such usage has been adopted by
official language bodies in the target language-speaking countries.
The cards for each student will be allocated according to a sequence chart for each tier provided in
the Teacher’s Booklet in each exam series. The Reading aloud card and the Photo card will always
be from different themes and the sequence chart will ensure that there is no overlap of task
between the different sections of the test for individual students.
All three parts of the test will allow students to demonstrate appropriate and accurate use of the
prescribed vocabulary and grammatical structures, including some more complex forms. The
language produced will be of limited complexity at Foundation tier and at a greater level of
complexity at Higher tier.
The tasks will also allow students to demonstrate knowledge of the sound symbol
correspondences outlined in the prescribed grammar requirements so as to be understood by a
native speaker.

These are the recommended lengths for each part of the speaking test:

Foundation tier Higher tier

Part 1: Role-play Between 1 and 1.5 minutes Between 1 and 1.5 minutes
Part 2: Reading aloud task Between 2 and 2.5 minutes Between 3 and 3.5 minutes
Part 3: Photo card task Between 4 and 5 minutes in Between 6 and 7 minutes in
total (approximately one minute total (approximately one and a
for description of the photos half minutes for description of
and between 3 and 4 minutes the photos and between 4.5
for the unprepared and 5.5 minutes for the
conversation) unprepared conversation)
Total 7 to 9 minutes 10 to 12 minutes

Marking of the speaking test will stop at the maximum amount of time specified for the tier. Ie, nine
minutes for Foundation tier and twelve minutes for Higher tier.

4.5.1 Foundation and Higher tier

50 marks
Foundation tier: students will attend one session of 7–9 minutes (and supervised preparation time
of 15 minutes).
Higher tier: students will attend one session of 10–12 minutes (and supervised preparation time of
15 minutes).
Timing of the test will start when the teacher begins the Role-play using the introductory text in the
Teacher’s Booklet. Timing of the test will end when the maximum time allowed is reached (nine
minutes at Foundation tier for the whole test and twelve minutes at Higher tier for the whole test).
The format of the test will be the same for each tier and will consist of three parts.

4.5.1.1 Role-play (10 marks)

Based on a stimulus card, to be prepared by the student immediately before the test during their
preparation time. Students will carry out one role-playing situation (recommended to last between
one and one and a half minutes at both tiers). The Role-play tasks on the Candidate card will be in
English and will contain unambiguous instructions about what to say.
The Role-play card will allow students to answer questions and convey information, using the
prescribed vocabulary lists, adapting language to suit the purpose of the task. Students will be
required to ask a question as part of the Role-play.

4.5.1.2 Reading aloud task (15 marks)

Based on a short text of a minimum of 35 words at Foundation tier and a minimum of 50 words at
Higher tier, to be prepared by the student immediately before the test in their supervised
preparation time. The words assessed will focus on the sound symbol correspondences listed in
the DfE subject content. Students will not be permitted to read their text out loud during their
supervised preparation time.
After reading the text out loud during the test, students will take part in a short unprepared
conversation on the topic of the text. There are four compulsory questions set on the topic of the
text which teachers will ask exactly as they are written in the Teacher’s Booklet. At Foundation tier,
this part of the test is recommended to last between two and two and a half minutes in total. At

28 Visit for the most up-to-date specification, resources, support and administration
 AQA GCSE German 8662. GCSE exams June 2026 onwards. Version 1.0 8 December 2023

Higher tier, this part of the test is recommended to last between three and three and a half minutes
in total. These recommended totals include the reading of the text and the short conversation.
The student’s response to the four compulsory questions is marked as a whole. Marks are not
awarded to individual questions.

4.5.1.3 Discussion of Photo card (25 marks)

Based on a Photo card to be prepared by the student immediately before the test in their
supervised preparation time. The Photo card will contain two photos from one of the three themes.
Students will have the Photo card during their supervised preparation time in order to prepare their
response to the first question. Students may make written notes in the preparation time and use
these notes during the task. The first question in the Teacher’s Booklet focuses on the content of
the two photos on the card and is compulsory.
The Photo card task is recommended to last between four and five minutes in total at Foundation
tier. At Higher tier, the Photo card task is recommended to last between six and seven minutes in
total. These recommended time allocations include both parts of this task as outlined below (the
student’s response to the content of the photos and the unprepared conversation).

Response to the content of the photos

Students are recommended to talk about both photos for approximately one minute at Foundation
tier and approximately one and a half minutes at Higher tier. Coverage of the photos does not need
to be equal but students are required to say at least one thing about each photo as a minimum
requirement. Any relevant content will be credited in this first part of the task, even if it is outside
the prescribed theme of the Photo card.

Unprepared conversation
The second part of this task is an unprepared conversation which follows the description of the
photos. At Foundation tier, this is recommended to last between 3 and 4 minutes and at Higher tier
between 4.5 and 5.5 minutes. This conversation can be based on any or all of the three topics from
the theme specified on the Candidate's card and in the Teacher's Notes, enabling students to
develop personalised responses.
Guidance on questioning technique for the unprepared conversation is provided in the Paper 2
Teacher’s Booklet.
As this conversation is unprepared, students must not know in advance of the Speaking test which
questions, theme or topic areas will be covered in their test. It is also not permissible for teachers
to narrow the scope of questions by discussing in advance with students their preferred areas for
inclusion during the test.
See the Speaking test assessment criteria (page 34)

4.6.1 Foundation and Higher tier

In Section A, students’ understanding of written language will be tested by a range of question
types in English, requiring non-verbal responses or responses in English. The tests will contain
some items which are common to both tiers.
Responses will be assessed according to a detailed mark scheme. The appropriate mark(s) will be
awarded if the student has satisfactorily communicated his or her understanding.
The test at both tiers will consist of a variety of short and longer texts, predominantly focusing on
the defined vocabulary and grammar for each tier and will be of limited complexity at Foundation
tier. Students will be required to identify the overall message, key points, details and opinions from
items such as public notices and advertisements, extracts from brochures, newspapers,
magazines, email and websites.
Students will also be required to infer, by using knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar
specified for each tier, plausible meanings of single words from outside the vocabulary list when
they are embedded in the context of written sentences.
In Section B, there will be a translation of sentences from German into English (a minimum of 35
words at Foundation tier and 50 words at Higher tier). In this context, translation means an
appropriate and sufficient rendering of the meaning of the original language.

2 The message is conveyed without ambiguity.
1 The message is partially conveyed or conveyed with some
ambiguity.
0 No part of the message is conveyed.

Notes
• Where students are required to give two responses or details in one task, failure to convey
an unambiguous message in reply to one of them means that the message is partially
conveyed and one mark is awarded.
• The tasks on the Candidate’s card and the notes in the Teacher’s Booklet clearly explain how
much detail the student is expected to give per task. However, some students may still go
beyond the minimum requirement of the task. When this happens, as soon as the task is
accomplished, any further incorrect information given by the student is ignored for
assessment purposes.

Level Mark AO3

1 1 • Very limited knowledge of vocabulary. Few appropriate items.
• Grammar is highly inaccurate. Major and minor errors in all or
almost all sentences.

0 0 The language produced does not meet the standard required for
Level 1 at this tier.

Notes
• A mark of zero in Grid one automatically results in a mark of zero in Grid two, but apart from
that, the 'Rendering of the original meaning' mark does not limit the mark for Knowledge of
vocabulary and grammar.
• A major error is one which adversely affects communication.
• A minor error is one which does not affect communication.

Question 2 (15 marks)

There are three compulsory bullet points assessed for AO2 (10 marks) and AO3 (5 marks), as
specified in the criteria below. The student is expected to produce approximately 90 words over the
whole question. The number of words is approximate – demonstration of the mark descriptors is
more important than the word count. Examiners will mark all work produced by the student even if
it is well beyond the suggested number of words.
All bullet points must be covered, but there is no need for equal coverage of the bullets.

Level Mark AO2

5 9–10 • All three bullet points are covered.
• Communication is clear.
• Ideas are regularly developed with a lot of relevant information
being conveyed.

4 7–8 • All three bullet points are covered.

• Communication is mostly clear but perhaps with occasional
lapses in clarity.
• Ideas are often developed with quite a lot of relevant
information being conveyed.

3 5–6 • At least two bullet points are covered.

• Communication is generally clear but there are likely to be
lapses in clarity.
• A few ideas may be developed and some relevant information
is conveyed.

2 3–4 • At least one bullet point is covered.

• Communication is sometimes clear and there are regular
lapses in clarity.
• Little relevant information is conveyed.

• Communication is often not clear and there are very many
lapses in clarity.
• Very little relevant information is conveyed.

0 0 The content does not meet the standard required for a mark at this
tier.

Notes
There may be some imbalance in the coverage of the three compulsory bullet points but, provided
at least some coverage of all bullet points is evident, students will have access to full marks where
the other criteria are met.
When awarding a mark, all aspects of the descriptors must be considered and not only the number
of bullet points covered.

Level Mark AO3

5 5 • A good variety of vocabulary is used.
• There are regular attempts at complexity of language and
structure.
• There are references to all three time frames which are mainly
successful.

3 3 • Some variety of vocabulary is used.

• There may be occasional attempts at complexity of language
and structure.
• There are references to at least two different time frames,
although these may not always be successful.
• There may be some major errors, and minor errors occur
regularly but overall the response is more accurate than
inaccurate.

2 2 • A limited variety of vocabulary is used.

• The language is mainly simple but there may be some
attempts at longer sentences with appropriate linking words.
• There may be no successful references to different time
frames.
• There may be frequent major and minor errors and overall the
response is generally inaccurate.

Level Mark AO3

1 1 • The range of vocabulary is narrow and/or repetitive.
• The language is simple and sentences are short or may not be
properly constructed.
• There are no successful references to different time frames.
• There may be frequent major and minor errors and overall the
response is highly inaccurate.

0 0 The language does not meet the standard required for Level 1 at this
tier.

Notes
• A mark of zero for AO2 automatically results in a mark of zero for AO3. Apart from that, the
AO2 mark does not limit the mark for AO3.

• A minor error is one which does not affect communication.

Question 3 (25 marks)

For this question there are two compulsory bullet points, which are assessed for AO2 (15 marks),
and AO3 (10 marks), as specified in the criteria below. The maximum mark for Question 3 is 25.
The student is expected to produce approximately 150 words over the whole question. The number
of words is approximate – demonstration of the mark descriptors is more important than the word
count. Examiners will mark all work produced by the student even if it is well beyond the suggested
number of words.
Both bullet points must be covered, but there is no need for equal coverage of the bullets.

Notes
• There may be some imbalance in the coverage of the two compulsory bullet points but,
provided at least some coverage of both bullet points is evident, students will have access to
full marks where the other criteria are met.
• When awarding a mark, all aspects of the descriptors must be considered and not only the
number of bullet points covered.
• A student who conveys information in relation to one bullet point can score a maximum of 12
marks for AO2.

AO3
In this question, the marks for AO3 are split between Range and use of language (Grid 1) and
Accuracy (Grid 2). There is a maximum of five marks for each of these criteria, making a total of 10
marks for AO3 in this question.
The whole of the response must be assessed when awarding the marks for AO3, even if some of it
is irrelevant to the bullet points.
Grid one: Range and use of language
Level Mark AO3 (Range and use of language)
5 5 • Very good variety of appropriate vocabulary and grammatical
structures.

5 General administration
You can find information about all aspects of administration, as well as all the forms you need, at
aqa.org.uk/examsadmin

5.1 Entries and codes

You only need to make one entry for each qualification – this will cover all the question papers,
non-exam assessment and certification.
Every specification is given a national discount (classification) code by the Department for
Education (DfE), which indicates its subject area.
If a student takes two specifications with the same discount code:
• further and higher education providers are likely to take the view that they have only
achieved one of the two qualifications
• only one of them will be counted for the purpose of the School and College Performance
tables – the DfE's rules on 'early entry' will determine which one.
Please check this before your students start their course.

Qualification title Option AQA entry DfE discount

code code
AQA GCSE in German Foundation 8662F FKG
tier
Higher tier 8662H FKG

This specification complies with:

• Ofqual General conditions of recognition that apply to all regulated qualifications
• Ofqual GCSE qualification level conditions that apply to all GCSEs
• Ofqual GCSE subject level conditions that apply to all GCSEs in this subject
• all other relevant regulatory documents.
The Ofqual qualification accreditation number (QAN) is 610/3531/2.

5.2 Overlaps with other qualifications

There are no overlaps with any other AQA qualifications at this level.

5.3 Awarding grades and reporting results

The qualification will be graded on a nine-point scale: 1 to 9 – where 9 is the best grade.
A student taking Foundation tier assessments will be awarded a grade within the range of 1 to 5.
Students who fail to reach the minimum standard for grade 1 will be recorded as U (unclassified)
and will not receive a qualification certificate.

A student taking Higher tier assessments will be awarded a grade within the range of 4 to 9. A
student sitting the Higher tier who just fails to achieve grade 4 will be awarded an allowed grade 3.
Students who fail to reach the minimum standard for the allowed grade 3 will be recorded as U
(unclassified) and will not receive a qualification certificate.

5.4 Resits and shelf life

Students can resit the qualification as many times as they wish, within the shelf life of the
qualification.

5.5 Previous learning and prerequisites

There are no previous learning requirements. Any requirements for entry to a course based on this
specification are at the discretion of schools and colleges.

5.6 Access to assessment: diversity and inclusion

General qualifications are designed to prepare students for a wide range of occupations and
further study. Therefore our qualifications must assess a wide range of competences.
The subject criteria have been assessed to see if any of the skills or knowledge required present
any possible difficulty to any students, whatever their ethnic background, religion, sex, age,
disability or sexuality. Tests of specific competences were only included if they were important to
the subject.
As members of the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ) we participate in the production of the
JCQ document Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments: General and Vocational
qualifications. We follow these guidelines when assessing the needs of individual students who
may require an access arrangement or reasonable adjustment. This document is published at
jcq.org.uk

Students with disabilities and special needs

We're required by the Equality Act 2010 to make reasonable adjustments to remove or lessen any
disadvantage that affects a disabled student.
We can make arrangements for disabled students and students with special needs to help them
access the assessments, as long as the competences being tested aren't changed. Access
arrangements must be agreed before the assessment. For example, a Braille paper would be a
reasonable adjustment for a Braille reader.
To arrange access arrangements or reasonable adjustments, you can apply using the online
service at aqa.org.uk/eaqa

Special consideration
We can give special consideration to students who have been disadvantaged at the time of the
assessment through no fault of their own – for example a temporary illness, injury or serious
problem such as family bereavement. We can only do this after the assessment.
Your exams officer should apply online for special consideration at aqa.org.uk/eaqa
