Arbeitsbuch zu German culture through film

📖 The Scoop

Arbeitsbuch zu German Culture through Cinema is part of a two book series, along with German Culture through Film. This text covers fourteen films with emphasis on German language skills. The series is designed to appeal to professors who teach courses in general education, liberal arts, cinema, or who conduct a course in German film exclusively in German, or for where students share the same class (and films) for those two different courses.

Each chapter includes:

- Portions of the screen play, generally 2 or 3 scenes each running a page or two

- A division of the film into 5 or 6 parts with each part having a listing of that section's scenes and a brief summary of the scene. Each brief summary is followed by 4-6 questions

- Vocabulary exercises that require students to match words and expressions in one list with those of another. (A few chapters have grammar exercises)

- Information boxes that give background on the film as well as history and culture needed to understand the movie

- A brief summary (120 words) which recycles vocabulary and asks students to fill in 5-7 mixing vocabulary word
