EFL · TWO-TRACK CURRICULUM

A two-track English curriculum for comprehensive school — G+M from Grade 5 to 10, and E from Grade 5 through the school-leaving examination (“Abitur”) in Grade 13. Aligned to a regional curriculum framework for Sekundarstufe I and to the curriculum framework for the gymnasiale Oberstufe (see References). Authored by S. Le Boulanger.

What this is Link to heading

Fifteen courses, one per year group per track, each with twelve Units. Every Unit ships as both an HTML article and a Reveal.js slide deck, written from a single Quarto source. Every Unit closes with a worked exam example — a class test (“Klassenarbeit”) at the appropriate Niveau in Grades 5–10, and an Abitur-style Prüfungsaufgabe in Grades 11–13. The site is authored, not aggregated: every text, transcript, exercise, and exam stimulus is original to S. Le Boulanger.

Who this is for Link to heading

Teachers on either track at a comprehensive school who want a ready-to-teach curriculum-aligned skeleton — both for grundlegend and mittleres Niveau (G+M, leading to Hauptschul- and intermediate secondary certificate) and for the erweitertes Niveau heading toward Abitur (Basisfach and Leistungsfach). The materials are designed to be used as-is in class, adapted for differentiated groups, or remixed under CC-BY 4.0.

The five-step template Link to heading

Every Unit walks the same path: Activate → Input → Practise → Produce → Reflect. Exam-preparation Units use the variant Task → Model → Strategy → Attempt → Feedback. The shared shape lets learners predict what comes next while teachers can drop in differentiated material at any step.

One source, two formats Link to heading

A single .qmd file becomes the Unit’s HTML article and the slide deck. The article is for self-study, homework catch-up, and parent read-along. The slide deck drives the lesson itself, with speaker notes that cover timing, transitions, and Niveau-aware differentiation in mixed classrooms.

Exam preparation Link to heading

Every Unit closes with a worked exam example at the right Niveau. Grades 5–10 end with a kompetenzorientierte class test (“Klassenarbeit”). Grades 11–13 end with an Abitur-style task — schriftliche Prüfung (Comprehension + Analysis + Composition + Mediation) or Kommunikationsprüfung — labelled Basisfach or Leistungsfach.
