-To further encourage grammatical and syntactical accuracy and (in the case of spoken German) a degree of fluency.
-To provide opportunities for independent study and to promote the effective use of reference resources and authentic language materials
- To encourage consistency in application and quality of work through assessment of coursework as well as examinations.
