Features: "The NewGerman Intensive Course" (Revised Edition) consists of five volumes: Basic 1, Basic 2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2, and Advanced. This book is the fourth volume, equivalent to the Intermediate Level 2 level stipulated in the "Outline for Intensive German Teaching for Study Abroad Personnel," and is suitable for learners who have completed the Basic German course (540 hours). This textbook, based on the characteristics of short-term intensive training, has corrected the traditional shortcomings of emphasizing grammar while neglecting practicality in both language knowledge delivery and communicative competence training. In terms of material selection, the book takes into account the learners' needs for life, study, and social interaction abroad. The selected texts cover these three major communicative contexts, and also include some passages introducing Chinese history and culture to foreign countries, enabling learners to develop certain bidirectional cross-cultural communication skills. The book strives for diverse and balanced exercise formats, focusing on developing learners' ability to transition from sentence-level to text-level expression while cultivating the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Most of the exercise content is adapted to the themes, allowing for more review of relevant contexts and vocabulary, preparing learners for the transition to advanced-level studies. All listening texts in this book are accompanied by corresponding audio cassettes.
