BW Abitur Russian study plan

Diagnose current listening and reading level by completing one full Abitur-format Hörverstehen set and one Sachtext-Leseverstehen set under timed conditions, then tabulate error types (lexical, grammatical, inference, speed).

Build a personal vocabulary log of 120 high-frequency Abitur-relevant words and collocations drawn from the diagnostic texts, sorted by error source.

Practise extracting the Hauptaussage, Detailinformation and Intention from three short audio texts (2–3 minutes each) using structured note-taking columns.

Identify and label the structure of two nichtliterarische Sachtexte (Einleitung, Argumentation, Schluss) and mark signal words for argumentation.

Write two timed Erörterungen (250–300 words each) on Abitur-typical topics, each with a clear thesis, two arguments and a counter-argument, using connective phrases from a self-built list.

Revise both texts against a checklist for cohesion, register and grammatical accuracy, and rewrite one paragraph to correct every flagged error.

Analyse one short literary prose excerpt (1–2 pages) for narrative perspective, setting and characterisation, and write a 150-word analysis in Russian.

Practise Hörverstehen with two longer audio texts (5+ minutes) and answer true/false plus multiple-choice items without replaying.

Complete three Sprachmittlung tasks (German→Russian and Russian→German) of 100–150 words each, applying the situational register and omitting irrelevant detail.

Compile and memorise a themed glossary of 40 terms on Russian-speaking-country institutions (education, health, transport, media) and use at least 15 in the mediation tasks.

Summarise two current Russian-language news articles (300–400 words each) in 80 words in German, capturing main claim and tone.

Drill 30 grammar structures that typically fail in mediation (participles, verbal aspect, passive, numerals with nouns) via targeted transformation exercises.

Build a comparative country-profile chart for two Russian-speaking regions (e.g. Russia and Belarus or Kazakhstan) covering politics, economy, education and media landscape, with sourced facts.

Read one non-fiction text on a landeskundlich topic and extract five claims, then verify each against a second independent source and note discrepancies.

Prepare and record a 3-minute spoken summary in Russian presenting one regional profile, using at least ten topic-specific terms.

Write a 200-word German commentary comparing the two profiles, citing concrete evidence rather than generalities.

Analyse one literary text (poem or short story) for theme, imagery, tone and historical context, and write a 250-word interpretation in Russian.

Connect the literary text to its socio-historical background by producing a short annotated timeline of five relevant events.

Answer five Abitur-style open questions on the text using precise analytical vocabulary (Thema, Motiv, Erzählperspektive, Bildsprache).

Compare two media representations (a news report and a feature article) of the same Russian-speaking-country event and list three framing differences.

Complete a full mock Abitur paper (Hörverstehen, Leseverstehen, Schreiben) under strict timing and self-score each section against the official weighting.

Diagnose the three weakest item types from the mock and complete 20 targeted practice items per type.

Rewrite the mock's weakest written response with improved structure and vocabulary, then compare word count, cohesion and accuracy side by side.

Practise one 10-minute monologue on a randomly drawn topic, recording it and marking fluency, range and accuracy on a rubric.

Run two integrated task chains (Leseverstehen → Sprachmittlung → Schreiben) within 90 minutes each to practise transferring information across skills.

Consolidate 60 previously logged vocabulary items and 20 grammar structures through spaced-repetition review and a self-test.

Deliver a 5-minute oral presentation on a landeskundlich topic, integrating one literary reference and one media source.

Peer- or self-assess the presentation against the Abitur speaking criteria and list three concrete improvements.

Sit one final full mock under exam conditions and achieve at least 70% overall with no section below 60%.

Review the entire error log and close the five most persistent error patterns with targeted drills.

Finalise a one-page personal exam-strategy sheet covering timing, task order, mediation shortcuts and answer-checking routines.

Rehearse the oral component twice with a partner or recording, focusing on structured argumentation and precise landeskundlich vocabulary.
