Understanding familiar vocabulary and phrases in spoken German.

    OCR
    GCSE

    Candidates must demonstrate the ability to decode and interpret spoken language across a range of registers, speeds, and authentic contexts. Assessment focuses on the identification of specific details, the deduction of inferred meaning, and the recognition of opinions and attitudes within audio stimuli. Mastery requires the application of grammatical knowledge to distinguish time frames and the retrieval of high-frequency vocabulary to construct meaning from complex acoustic inputs.
