CBSE class 11 German New Syllabus 2018-19
Class XI (2018-19)

The syllabus for classes XI and XII while following the communicative approach lays more stress on expansion of vocabulary, improved expression as also student projects.

Grammar will be revised and teachers are expected to build on the foundation laid in previous years. More difficult exercises using the grammar structures already known, have to be practised in class with a clear emphasis on applied grammar. By now the teacher should be able to use German as the sole medium of instruction in class. Students should be able to respond in German to verbal and visual stimuli and communicate on a wide range of everyday topics.

Speaking and writing skills now are on the forefront, though reading and listening skills have also not been neglected.

Reading should also be more thorough and detailed in nature. It is not enough to just skim a text and extract the salient points or extract specific information based on our need. It is now also important to read a text and understand the details.

In the aural skills department students should be able to follow texts that are lengthy and where the speaker speaks on a given topic from everyday life in a nuanced manner.

In the written portion students will at the end of class XII have to summarise a given passage in German in contrast to class X where the summary is to be written in English. Translation in the traditional sense has once again not been incorporated.

Students will get ample opportunity to speak and express themselves in class. Projects have also been included in almost every chapter. Ideally an oral test should be a part of the assessment in both years. But due to systemic constraints this could not be done. The final exam in class XII will test reading and writing skills as well as grammar.

We aim that when a student leaves school at the end of XII he/she will be able to communicate in everyday situations and deal with problems he/she encounters in everyday life. More importantly the German learnt in school should be the base for a professional in any field to build on if he / she should be in a situation where they need to use their language skills professionally. They may in such a situation need to complement their knowledge with the subject specific vocabulary from their field.
