The new textbook "Connect History for Bilingual Classes" for bilingual German-English history instruction at the upper secondary level builds on the competencies acquired in lower secondary education and systematically develops them further. Overview texts and selected sources enhance the factual competence of the students, connecting to their prior knowledge and experiences. Through a detailed skills section, as well as diverse task frameworks and support systems, the methodological competence of the students is further developed. With exam exercises that include sample solutions for all three levels of the subject's requirements, students have the opportunity to assess their learning successes independently. The provision of problem questions linked to the respective content areas at the beginning of the chapters and tasks promotes independent learning.
