I've used this successfully with some of my intermediate students who haven't had much formal German instruction and need additional practice with specific grammatical topics. Generally it's quite good; the explanations are clear and the exercises in each section are graduated by difficulty. It does assume a reasonably good (although not huge) vocabulary -- i.e., someone with just a year of German might have difficulty not because of the grammar, but because too much of the vocabulary is unknown. No book is perfect, of course, so a few notes on some of its weaknesses: Most of the sections include some English to German exercises, which I'm not a big fan of, as it encourages students to translate instead of understanding the language on its own terms. There are a number of topics that are not included which I've found my students tend to have difficulties with -- the big one is the inexplicable absence of da- and wo-compounds. It's also primarily a grammar review in a narrow sense, focusing mostly on syntactical and morphological issues, and not so much on problems involving usage or rhetorical structuring of language. The final section, "special problems", does touch on issues such as als/wenn/wann which tend to cause difficulties for English speakers, but it's not the main focus of the text. There's no discussion of flavoring particles (doch, eben, gar etc), which I think is unfortunate, as learning to use these words properly is a big step to making one's German sound more sophisticated. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Recognizing that students in a second or third year course come from a wide variety of backgrounds and skill levels, German in Review is designed to even the playing field by letting all students come into the classroom on an equal footing. Broken into two parts, German in Review 4e begins with the Lehbruch reference text, which is designed to re-introduce students to the essentials of modern German. Part Two, the Übungsbuch Classroom Manual, accompanies the main reference text. Working on the assumption that students have used the main text to bring them up to speed in any given area of German grammar, Part Two presents them with a series of new exercises that will confirm and extend what they have accomplished on their own. Taken together, the main text, Online Activities, and Classroom Manual free the instructor to use in-class time to a maximum advantage. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
