Features: The revised new book can be used as teaching materials and self-study books for intensive German classes, public German (i.e., a second foreign language) courses, and online teaching. This book adheres to building a solid foundation in pronunciation, teaching essential and commonly used vocabulary, and focuses on grammar and basic oral language teaching as the main line, emphasizing the cultivation of students' reading, translation, and basic oral language skills. Part and Part of this book contain 33 lessons, with Lessons 1-8 being the pronunciation stage, starting from Lesson 9, grammar is taught until Lesson 32. Lessons 15, 21, 27, and 33 are review lessons, each a reading passage covering topics such as science and technology, folk tales, travelogues, and economics, while also reviewing previously learned grammar.
Part of the pronunciation tutorial consists of 8 lessons (16-20 hours of instruction). Students will learn all German pronunciation, pronunciation rules, 143 words, and simple dialogues. Part of the basic tutorial consists of 25 lessons (50-70 hours of instruction). Through these 25 lessons, students will master basic German grammar and 420 words. Grammar teaching can be conducted comprehensively through grammar explanations, grammar pattern examples, texts, dialogues, and exercises. Dialogues can be taught through narrative texts, dialogue texts, and corresponding exercises. Exercises can be divided into two parts: in-class assignments and after-class assignments. The exercise volume is slightly more than needed, and teachers can select based on specific circumstances.
Parts three and four of this book are reading, translation texts, and grammar, which belong to the same teaching stage (more than 20 hours of instruction). The reading and translation texts consist of 17 lessons, from which teachers can select a portion. The grammar section introduces key and difficult points of German grammar, deepening basic grammar, with a total of 15 units.
The book was originally designed for 100 hours of classroom instruction and 200 hours of self-study. With additional content, the teaching time should be appropriately extended.
