German - Improvers ONLINE course (usual venue Abingdon Campus)

German 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 beginners year or are confident enough to talk about who you are and your background (families, hobbies, sport etc) in German already.

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 2020 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 Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.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 19+ full fee button displays the full fee that may apply. As 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 also visit the Course Fees & Finance page by searching '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.
