Information about the title: The concentrated learning and practice book Standard German focuses on core competencies and is aligned with the mandatory learning content of educational standards. It addresses the areas of competence in speaking and listening, writing, reading/handling texts, as well as examining language and language use, applying them in various contexts. The transparent structure of the teaching material and the consistent, recurring chapter layout help students to orient themselves and work independently with the book. They engage in four learning steps: activating prior knowledge, developing learning content and acquiring competencies, checking learning progress, and applying and deepening what has been learned. Numerous performance tasks and learning assessments familiarize students with exam-standard test formats starting from grade 5 and prepare them for their learning progress.
