Target group: Adult learners with no prior knowledge at adult education centers and similar institutions. Learning objective: Otlitschno! systematically develops communicative skills for important everyday situations. The teaching material is closely aligned with the guidelines of the European Framework and leads to level A2 in two volumes. In addition to teaching language and cultural knowledge, there is a strong emphasis on promoting learner autonomy. Concept: Otlitschno! is a communicative teaching material that encourages learners from the very beginning to engage in the foreign language through action-oriented tasks, various text types, and diverse communication situations. Gradually structured tasks systematically introduce the central vocabulary as well as new grammatical structures and train strategies for reading and listening comprehension through the principle of self-discovery learning.
