The educational standards for the Secondary School Certificate specify methods and work techniques for all competency areas. The guidelines for the General University Entrance Qualification therefore assume significant methodological competence among students. Methodological competence is a key qualification. Especially in German lessons, methods hold particular importance. How can learners be encouraged to use appropriate processes and procedures more confidently to achieve specific goals? In this practical volume, experienced educators offer relevant and engaging methods and work techniques in the following areas: - Speaking and Listening (Tilman von Brand), - Reading - handling texts (Kaspar H. Spinner), - Media usage (Tilman von Brand), - Writing as text composition (Jürgen Baurmann), - Spelling (Jürgen Baurmann and Wolfgang Menzel).
