Menschen A1 : Kursbuch

The accompanying workbook is here.

Modular structure, every module consists of three short units and four additional Module-Plus-Pages. The lessons are each four pages long and follow a transparent and repeated structure pattern:

• Every unit begins with an interesting introductory situation, mostly combined with a listening text, which introduces the unit's topic and stimulates emotions and interest.
• On the following double page, the language, word fields and structures from the previous lead-in situation are introduced and practised using authentic reading and listening texts.
• The unit's new word field is presented in the heading in picture dictionary form making it easy to remember.
• Final page; writing and speaking practice or mini-projects pick up on the lesson content and both structures and important phrases appear in a clear summary.

The four additional Module-Plus-Pages offer further interesting information:

• Reading magazine: magazine page with a variety of additonal reading texts.
• Film spots: Exercises for the DVD's film sequences.
• Project cultural studies: suggestions for a project.
• Finale: Songs with tips for creative use in class.
• The integrated learner's DVD-ROM offers individual extension and consolidation tasks as well as automated exercises for self-study at home.
