Get ready to utterly shock and amaze your friends and family colleagues and teachers with the powerful information you learn in this book
Some people say learning German is difficult But German is not more difficult (or easier) than any other language It all depends on the approach
After the first year of German there comes a time when studying grammar and drilling vocabulary lists doesn't work anymore Eventually each learner has to work with authentic materials such as newspapers blogs and literature
Some teachers will tell their students that before they actually go out and immerse themselves in such materials they have to lay a strong groundwork of grammar and vocabulary While there's nothing wrong with that there's also no reason why learners shouldn't immerse themselves in authentic materials from day one
This illustrated short story is based on this understanding and uses simple natural sentences along with images to form an intuitive approach to learning German
Difficult words are marked in bold and translated in the dictionary You can use your Kindle to navigate between the sentences pictures and vocabulary list

Brave New Digital Classroom: Technology and Foreign Language Learning
ISBN: 1589012127 Binding: Paperback Edition: Author(s): Robert J. Blake Publisher: Georgetown University Press Number of Pages: 240
Brave New Digital Classroom deftly interweaves results of pedagogical research and descriptions of the most successful computer-assisted language learning (CALL) projects to explore how technology can best be employed in the foreign-language curriculum to assist the second language acquisition processDirected to all language teachers -- whether at the school or the postsecondary level with or without prior experience -- this book focuses on how to use new technologies effectively Blake urges teachers to move beyond a simple functional competence of knowing how to use the tools toward first a critical competence -- realizing what the various tools are good for -- and ultimately a rhetorical competence of knowing how the tools will help transform the learning environment This book examines the effective use of a range of technologies from Internet sites through computer-mediated communication such as synchronous chatting and blogs to distance learning At the end of each chapter questions and activities demonstrate the interactionist learner-centered pedagogy Blake espouses An invaluable reference for experienced researchers and CALL developers as well as those of limited experience Brave New Digital Classroom is also ideal for graduate-level courses on second language pedagogy It will also be of interest to department chairs and administrators seeking to develop and evaluate their own CALL programs
