What's New?
The Situationen activities have been carefully reviewed and revised reflect the interests and needs of today's students. These communicative activities will keep students engaged and participating actively in class.
Instructors will be pleased to find new and engaging vocabulary displays in many chapters.
Chapter vocabulary has been revised with an eye to the Frequency Dictionary of German from Routledge (Jones and Tschirner, 2006).
The abundance of new photographs enhances the appeal of the materials for both instructors and students. Several of the chapter opening paintings have been replaced with new art.
A new larger page size provides a layout that is visually more pleasing and easier to read.
The Video Program has been updated with numerous new, authentic video clips and is now available exclusively on DVD.
The Kultur ... Landeskunde ... Informationen boxes have been updated and revised as appropriate to reflect changes since the fifth edition.
Several readings have been replaced with new selections. Many of the new readings focus on contemporary German film, including motion pictures such as Das Leben der Anderen, Das Wunder von Bern, and others.
The latest and final official spelling reform guidelines (August 1, 2006) have been implemented, with specific reference to Duden’s recommendations in the 24th edition of Die deutsche Rechtschreibung (Dudenverlag: Mannheim, 2006).
