Klasse!

"Klasse!" stands for communicative and action-oriented teaching, focusing on creativity and consistent learner involvement.

Exercises for multilingualism and, from A2, for language teaching build on the knowledge of the learners and show a close connection to the real application of language, and CLIL tasks make it possible to combine German content with other subjects.

Relevant themes and funny comics motivate students to speak and act. Videos show scenes and stories from the everyday life of young people in Germany, teaching cultural studies and practising comprehension.

Humorous clips on speech and authentic communication make speech comprehensible and integrate youth language, gestures and facial expressions. Grammar clips help students to understand new structures. An additional section on geography in the " plateau" chapters gives a more in-depth insight into Germany and its people.

In the section Free choice, learners can choose their own tasks - depending on difficulty, skill, or interest.

The coursebook and workbook both contain 12 chapters; the coursebook offers gentle progression with activity-oriented tasks and projects and summaries of vocabulary, speech, grammar and self-evaluation sections. The workbook contains partner exercises, pronunciation exercises, online exercises and a glossary at the end of each chapter.

All the audio and video material, as well as online quizzes, are available online as a free download or via the Klett-Augmented App. "Klett Augmented" is available for "Klasse!". With the Klett Augmented App audio files, videos or links can be scanned, played or saved on a smartphone or tablet. The teacher's book includes photocopy masters for CLIL tasks and comes with a DVD and 4 audio-CDS for the course. A split-level edition is available.

For English speakers an online is glossary is also available: https://www.klett-sprachen.de/download/20085/KlasseA1_Glossar_Englisch_final.pdf
