You can help your son in this year
In addition to formal assessment, pupils will be continually assessed on vocabulary, where they will not only learn the words but will be required to use each word in a sentence. You can help your son to learn these words and encourage him to write a sentence for each one before the vocabulary test. You can also help your son practise for the speaking exam by playing the role of the examiner (your son will give you the questions!). Your son will have access to the online AQA website for German. You should encourage him to work independently on the exercises to be found there.
