Written entirely in German, this content-based program prepares intermediate-level German students to communicate meaningfully in interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational modes. With a stimulating, comparative focus on topics such as contemporary politics, the environment, history, film, music, fine art, literature, and technology, Anders gedacht, Third Edition encourages creative self-expression as well as critical thinking about the German language and contemporary cultures of the German-speaking world. The text engages students in the learning process through inductive grammar instruction and review; cultural interpretation; analysis and comparison with their own culture; and interactive, task-based practice.
