Beginning German Multi-Media Course

Beginning German Multi-Media Course

Each of the 9 video episodes of the Beginning German Multi-Media Course "GUTEN TAG" contains a carefully constructed array of instructional elements which reinforce target concepts and vocabulary for optimal language acquisition. These elements include: On-screen teaching, animated pronunciation segments (which naturally guide students toward correct pronunciation of German), and all-German language modules (which introduce and reinforce key grammar topics, scripted real-life scenes shot on location in German-speaking countries, and tightly edited repetitions which showcase key dialogues). A companion guide with an interactive foreign language computer component provide a complete list of all vocabulary for each episode in the series, a complete dual-language transcript of all on-screen dialogues, a grammar & drill section presenting grammatical concepts in manageable increments capitalizing on similarities between English and German structures, and supplemental lessons, inserted regularly from the fourth episode on, introducing longer readings. These longer German texts are designed to be listened to, read aloud, and drilled in short sentences. They provide constant review, variation, and expansion of the vocabulary and structures that were covered up to a given point in the video course. This multi-media beginning German language course is designed for independent students and distance learners who really want to learn the German Language, not just learn about it! A traditional language textbook requires the teacher to be present to insure correctness in the student's work in the classroom. Once at home, every classroom student turns into a distance learner, faced with the never-ending problem: am I doing it right? With this interactive multi-media beginning German language course, GUTEN TAG, you will never face this problem!
