Description

"German Through Film" is designed to be a flexible tool for teachers who strive towards content-based instruction and believe that learning a language should be meaningful and enjoyable. It is based on eight contemporary German films, all of which are distributed in the U.S. The movies are presented in chronological order and present material of varying difficulty and complexity. Thanks to a wide variety of exercises, ranging from the most elementary to the most sophisticated, it is suitable for beginning, intermediate, and advanced learners. Each film includes pre-viewing, viewing, and post-viewing activities, which foster vocabulary enhancement, cultural awareness, oral discussion, and essay writing. "German Through Film" is an adaptable ancillary tool geared towards both high school and college instruction as well as towards adult education.
