Oral communication (Outcome 1)
Following a prepared presentation, German lessons students will be required to discuss issues and respond to questions in the German language following on naturally from the topic chosen. The information to be exchanged will be mainly of a factual nature. This test of oral communication will contribute to both the internal assessment of the German classes unit and to the external assessment of the course. For the purpose of the German classes unit assessment, the candidate’s performance will be assessed on a pass/fail basis. The performance criteria for a pass should be interpreted as being the same as the Grade C descriptions in the course specification.
For the purpose of the course assessment, the candidate’s performance will also be marked in terms of content, accuracy, language resource and intonation in accordance with the grade descriptions given in the course specification, using performance criteria and pegged marks issued by SQA.

Listening (Outcome 2)
German lessons students will listen to texts from live and, where possible, audio- or video-recorded sources in the German language. For the purpose of the German classes unit assessment, they will listen to items of mainly factual information, including accounts of events, related to the prescribed themes and topics. In some instances this may include the views and opinions of others. German lessons students will be required to demonstrate comprehension by undertaking tasks such as the following:
 responding in English to questions in English
 choosing the correct multiple-choice option in English
 completing grids to indicate comprehension
 listing in English the information contained in the spoken texts
 making notes in English under given headings
 making simple summaries in English
A variety of these tasks should be used in the internal assessment of listening. Use of a dictionary is not permitted.

Reading (Outcome 3)
German lessons students will read personal correspondence, short informative articles of a journalistic nature and/or short narrative texts describing events, in which speakers of the German language give mainly factual information relating to the topics. Some texts may include the expression of views and opinions on items relating to the themes. For the purpose of the German classes unit assessment, German lessons students will demonstrate comprehension by undertaking tasks such as the following:
 responding in English to questions in English
 choosing the correct multiple-choice option
 writing a summary
 completing grids to indicate understanding
 following written instructions to complete a task
