Features: This exercise manual is a supplementary textbook for StudienwegDeutsch. It consists of three parts:
1. Part 1: Exercise Materials – Pronunciation exercises are mandatory. How to consolidate and improve students' pronunciation and intonation skills after the pronunciation stage has been a long-standing concern for many teachers and students. Based on years of teaching experience and the difficulties Chinese students face in learning pronunciation, the authors of StudienwegDeutsch have compiled systematic pronunciation and intonation exercises and supplementary explanations as part of the main textbook, included in this manual (some exercises are accompanied by audio materials). It is hoped that instructors will guide students in practicing these exercises. The remaining sections mainly consist of written and reading exercises, designed to combine grammar and vocabulary from each lesson, complement the learned topics and content, and provide for both single-topic and comprehensive practice to reinforce and review knowledge while improving proficiency. New grammatical concepts do not appear in these exercises, but a small number of newly learned words without Chinese annotations are included to cultivate students' self-study skills and teach them how to use dictionaries correctly. The use of this part of the exercises is highly flexible, as the weekly class hours vary greatly among different institutions. Teachers can select certain exercises for in-class use or assign them as written homework based on their school's specific situation.
2. Part 2: Written Materials for Listening Texts in the Student Book (Kursbuch) – These are provided for reference by teachers and students when needed.
3. Part 3: Periodic Test Questions – These are conducted after the pronunciation stage, as well as after Lessons 4, 8, and 12.
