Features: New Precision German Intensive Course is specifically designed for students and researchers studying or furthering their studies in German-speaking countries, focusing on intensive German language learning. The book is divided into five levels: Basic 1, Basic 2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2, and Advanced, totaling five volumes. It is the first comprehensive systematic textbook in China's German intensive teaching field to integrate language, national conditions, cross-cultural communication, as well as listening, speaking, reading, writing training, and preparation for the German DSH (University German Admission Test) since the Outline for Intensive German Teaching for Study Abroad was introduced. The entire book is compiled according to the teaching outline and references the requirements of the German DSH exam syllabus. From writing, trial use, revision, finalization, publication, and use to revision and re-publication, it has gone through 10 years of development. The book covers from the beginning of learning German to the point where students can take the DSH exam, suitable for three semesters of teaching. The textbook is rich in content, well-structured, innovative in design, and features diverse question types, making it the only German intensive course in China that is directly aligned with the DSH. We hope that the publication of New Precision German Intensive Course will promote exchanges in textbook development within the field of German intensive teaching and facilitate cultural communication between China and German-speaking countries and regions. New Precision German Intensive Course: Advanced is written for advanced-level students by the Preparatory Department for German Studies at Tongji University, aiming to help students successfully pass the German university entrance language exam (DSH). To this end, the textbook focuses not only on cultivating students' four basic language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—but also particularly emphasizes improving their exam-taking techniques for the DSH. The original materials for this textbook are partly selected from past PNdS test questions and classroom exercises from the University of Bochum and other German universities, and partly from German newspapers and magazines. The topics covered include: environmental protection, energy, health, news media, computers, interpersonal relationships, interdisciplinary collaboration, research and production, cooperation between technology and the economy, market and consumption, population development, genetic engineering, technological development, and university students' studies and employment. The textbook consists of 14 units and 7 mock tests, divided into three stages. The first stage focuses on building a foundation for DSH exam preparation, such as reading analysis methods, question interpretation, answer strategies, listening note-taking techniques, and summarization skills (both written and oral). The second stage enhances exam-taking abilities through extensive practice. The third stage uses mock tests to familiarize students with the format and difficulty of the DSH. This book is the advanced-level textbook for New Precision German Intensive Course, specifically designed for students preparing to take the German university entrance language exam (DSH). The exercises in the book are fully aligned with the five components of the DSH: dictation, reading comprehension, writing, grammar, and oral exam. It provides systematic foundational training along with mock exam questions from several German universities, aiming to help students successfully pass the German university entrance language exam (DSH). The book covers a wide range of topics, is rich in content, and uses standard language, making it an ideal and comprehensive advanced-level textbook for the third semester of German intensive training.
