Features:
This book is a comprehensive training textbook for undergraduate students, rewritten based on the original German Course (Grundstudium Deutsch).
It integrates ten years of German teaching experience in China with domestic and international teaching theories.
It organically combines language knowledge such as phonetics, grammar, and vocabulary with training in the four basic skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
It fully considers the current social, cultural, economic, and political situations in German-speaking countries, focusing on cultivating students' phonetic application and cross-cultural communication skills.
The texts are fresh, diverse, illustrated, and full of contemporary. Contemporary University German 2 is accompanied by:
Student Book, supplementary audio materials (separately priced), Teacher's Manual (separately priced), Exercise Book (separately priced), Listening and Speaking Practice (separately priced), supplementary audio materials (separately priced).
This textbook (Student Book) consists of fifteen lessons, with topics covering daily life and social life, striving for lively content and natural language. Compared to the first volume, the second volume expands the types of texts, in addition to general dialogues and narratives, it also includes news reports, interviews, letters, diaries, TV interviews, advertisements, charts, poems, and jokes. Like the first volume, three lessons (Lesson 5, Lesson 10, and Lesson 15) are dedicated to Learning to Learn German, aimed at stimulating students' learning motivation and initiative, exploring interactive teaching methods, and fostering good study habits and scientific learning methods.
Some lessons and exercises in the second volume are more challenging, designed to encourage students to think creatively and engage in classroom discussions, thereby cultivating scientific thinking methods and logical reasoning skills.
In terms of grammar writing and arrangement, it still adopts the German "valence grammar" and scientifically combines it with "traditional grammar," but the pace is slightly slower to allow students to more purposefully and comfortably grasp the complex grammar rules.
At the request of users, Contemporary University German has added multiple listening exercises. In addition to the supplementary material H?ren und Sprechen, each lesson includes listening texts or dialogues, accompanied by corresponding audio materials.
