Aspekte Deutscher Gegenwart Practice Book 1 : Texte und Ubungen (2nd ed)

"Aspekte deutscher Gegenwart: Texte und Ubungen (Band 1)" complements Advanced level German course books by providing practice in reading and understanding longer texts of different types and encouraging independent study.

Students will also develop the vocabulary needed to understand and talk about important issues in modern German society.

The eight photocopiable self-study units are based on authentic texts dealing with the following topics: Obdachlose; Familie und Beruf; Fluchtlingskinder; Alkoholismus; Verkehrssicherheit; Modernes Essen; Drogen und Kriminalitat; and, Bildungswesen.

Lively, interesting and carefully graded, the exercises begin with identification of key words and comprehension questions, followed by detailed and precisely focused practice with the new vocabulary, grammar and phrases.

Units conclude with a written exercise and a topic for debate.

Extensive Losungen und Erlauterungen sections give correct answers to and commentaries on the exercises, in addition to sample essays.

Grammar and shades of meaning are explained simply but thoroughly, so that students can develop their language skills rapidly without the need to work closely with a teacher. "Aspekte deutscher Gegenwart: Texte und A bungen (Band 1)" is a companion volume to "Aspekte deutscher Gegenwart: Texte und Ubungen (Band 2)", and is in the same series as the highly-praised "Facettes de la France Contemporaine Livre 1 and Livre 2", and "Aspectos del mundo hispano".
