GCSE German
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
GCSE German makes few direct digital demands. The oracy NEA is audio recorded by the teacher, and the exams use texts in digital formats such as podcasts, e-mails and web pages, but dictionaries and reference materials are banned in every unit. The biggest thing KS3 can build is confident, regular recording and self-review of spoken German.

Preparing, recording and improving spoken German
The Unit 1 oracy NEA (read aloud and role play, a presentation on the learner's own interest, and a conversation) is audio recorded by the teacher and marked externally from the recording. Learners prepare the presentation in advance, so regular practice at planning, recording and self-reviewing spoken German builds confidence in front of a recorder.

Da gwybod
- Dictionaries are banned in every unit: "Learners are not permitted to use a dictionary in any part of the assessment." (Summary of assessment, page 5).
- Unit 1 oracy NEA allows only the learner's own notes: "or any other reference materials excluding the learner’s own notes." (Section 3.2, Unit 1, page 21).
- Unit 2 reading and writing NEA allows no reference materials, digital or otherwise. The spec does not say whether the response is handwritten or typed: "Learners are not permitted to use dictionaries in any part of the assessment, or any other reference materials." (Section 3.2, Unit 2, page 22).
- The oracy recording is made by the teacher, so learners do not handle recording technology in the assessment: "audio recorded and marked by external examiners" (Section 3.2, Unit 1, page 22).
- Use of digital technology is a learning experience only and is optional in delivery: "experiences will not be directly assessed" (Section 2, Opportunities for integration of learning experiences, page 20).
- The spec does not mention AI or translation tools, but the general malpractice rule applies: "Candidates must not take part in any unfair practice in the preparation of work for GCSE German." (Section 4 Malpractice, page 23).

WJEC's Appendix C (page 93) ticks Digital Competence Citizenship and Producing for Unit 2, Producing for Unit 4, Interacting and Collaborating for all four units, and nothing for Data and Computational Thinking. Unlike French and Spanish, German also ticks Interacting and Collaborating for Unit 2. Translation into Cymraeg or English overlaps with Welsh and English departments.
