Cambridge International IGCSE German (First Language) (0505) is designed for learners whose first language is German. The course develops the ability to communicate clearly, accurately and effectively through reading and writing, while encouraging learners to become confident, independent users of the language.
Learners study a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts, developing their skills in comprehension, analysis and interpretation. They also learn to write for different audiences and purposes, using a wide-ranging vocabulary, accurate grammar, spelling and punctuation, while developing their own personal writing style.
This qualification strengthens critical thinking, communication and analytical skills, providing an excellent foundation for further study, including Cambridge International AS & A Level German, as well as higher education and a wide range of future careers.
