Thissyllabus is designed for students who are learning German as a foreign language. The aim is to develop an ability to use the language effectively for practical communication. The course is based on the linked language skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing, and these are built on as learners progress through their studies.

We review all of our syllabuses regularly to make sure they continue to meet the needs of our schools. We have made some changes to this syllabus and assessment materials to improve how learners demonstrate their ability in written and spoken German. These changes are for examination from 2021.

Look out for a comprehensive support package to help you deliver the 2021 syllabus including Example candidate responses, a Scheme of work and Specimen paper answers. These resources will be available from April 2019 onwards (before first teaching) through our School Support Hub.

For learner support. Vocab Express is an online platform for schools that encourages students to learn foreign language vocabulary independently. This course is based on the vocabulary list for Cambridge IGCSE German.

For the listening exam, candidates will submit their answers on a multiple-choice answer sheet. They will not submit them on the question paper. At the end of the exam candidates will have six minutes to transfer their answers from the question paper onto the multiple-choice answer sheet. Find out more information and view a sample multiple-choice answer sheet.

In the June series this syllabus is available in all Administrative zones. However, in the November series this syllabus is available in Administrative zones 3 and 4 only. Check the administrative zones for your school.

Please note that if you make an entry for the A*-G grading scale, it is not then possible to switch to the 9-1 grading scale once the entries deadline has passed. If you find that you have accidentally made an entry for the A*-G syllabus, you must withdraw and re-enter before the entries deadline.

As the awarding standard has now returned to the pre-pandemic standard, we are working to produce up-to-date grade descriptions for most of our general qualifications. These will be based on the awarding standards in place from June 2023 onwards.

Teachers at registered Cambridge schools can unlock over 30 000 teaching and learning resources to help plan and deliver Cambridge programmes and qualifications, including Schemes of work, Example candidate responses, Past papers, Specimen paper answers, as well as digital and multimedia resources.

The editors have assembled the syllabus database in the hopes that it will serve as a useful resource to new and established scholars alike, whether for developing new courses and techniques, tweaking existing courses, or simply drawing on the collective pedagogical and intellectual expertise of fellow subscribers.
