This thematic vocabulary provides the fundamentals for text analysis and facilitates the transition to one's own text production. It is particularly suitable for students for whom German is a foreign language. It offers a learner-friendly presentation of vocabulary in typical sentences, a clear organization into small thematic units, vocabulary arranged according to key competencies (e.g., naming the author's intention, image description, analytical vocabulary for literary texts, own text production, etc.), and an index with all keywords. This learning vocabulary is already suitable for the first text assignment and can be used both for self-study and in the classroom.
