Since the first edition, Treffpunkt Deutsch has been carefully designed to enable students to use the language actively and successfully. KEY TOPICS: Thoroughly revised and updated, the Sixth Edition encourages students to interact more intensively with the German language and to begin constructing meaning from the first day of instruction, resulting in the development of strong language-learning strategies. MARKET: For elementary students of German.
NOTE: The Books a la Carte Edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Streamlined, shorter Vorschau sections orient students more quickly to each chapter theme. Many Vorschau sections are based on texts from daily life (e.g., tweets, a recipe for a favorite Swiss breakfast, a menu from a popular student restaurant). Two (rather than one) Kultur sections per chapter intensify Treffpunkt's integration of culture. Now, both full length sections have activities that encourage greater reflection on cultural products, practices, and perspectives of the German-speaking world. Topics include: -studying in Germany (e.g., the affordability of university study, the new Bachelor curriculum) -the use of social media and other technologies among students -affordable travel and accommodations, especially for students -recent migration to Germany, featuring an oral history of a new citizen with a migration background -unique festivals that span the German-speaking countries -green living, leading a sustainable lifestyle -service-learning opportunities for young people in Germany and Europe -simple résumé writing for students ready to take the next step of studying or working abroad The pronunciation section Zur Aussprache now appears early in each chapter, as suggested by our readers. Wortschatz sections contain Treffpunkt's popular practice of new vocabulary. New picture-based activities in Wörter im Kontext entice students to explore the meaning of new vocabulary and phrases via realia.
This Answer Key is available for optional inclusion in course packages; it includes answers for all discrete and short answer exercises in the SAM.
Novel Perspectives on German-Language Comics Studies: History, Pedagogy, Theory is the first English-language anthology to focus on graphic novels and comics from the German-speaking world. Its contributors take innovative historical, pedagogical, and theoretical approaches to reading contemporary German-language comics and, in doing so, demand that the German-language comics tradition, separate from American or Franco-Belgian traditions, be taken seriously at home and abroad.
