Features: "The NewGerman Intensive Course" (Revised Edition) consists of five volumes: Beginner 1, Beginner 2, Intermediate 1, Intermediate 2, and Advanced Course. 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 students who have completed beginner German (540 hours). This textbook, based on the characteristics of short-term intensive training, has corrected the shortcomings of traditional textbooks that overly emphasized grammar while neglecting practicality in both language knowledge delivery and communication skills training. In terms of material selection, the book takes into account students' needs for life, study, and social activities abroad. The selected texts cover these three major communication areas and include some passages introducing Chinese history and culture to foreign countries, enabling students to develop certain bidirectional cross-cultural communication skills. The book strives for diverse and varied exercise formats, combining difficulty levels, focusing on developing students' 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 students for the transition to advanced-level learning. All listening texts in this book are accompanied by corresponding audio cassettes.
