Sinopse

German Pre-intermediate to Intermediate Sentence Buildersáis a workbook aimed at beginner to pre-intermediate students co-authored by three modern languages educators with over 60 years of extensive classroom experience between the three, both in the UK and internationally.This âÇÖno-frillsâÇÖ book contains 15 units of work on very popular themes, jam-packed with graded vocabulary-building, reading, translation, retrieval practice and writing activities. Key vocabulary, lexical patterns and structures are recycled and interleaved throughout.Each unit includes:1) Aásentence builderámodelling the target constructions,2) A set ofávocabulary building activities,3) A set ofánarrow reading textsáexploited through a range of tasks focusing on both the meaning and structural levels of the text,4) A set of retrieval-practiceátranslation tasks,5) A set ofáwriting tasksátargeting essential micro-skills such as spelling, lexical retrieval, syntax, editing and communication of meaning.Based on theáExtensive Processing Instruction (E.P.I.)áprinciple that learners learn best from comprehensible and highly patterned input flooded with the target linguistic features, the authors have carefully designed each and every text and activity to enable the student to process and produce each item many times over.Alongside the macro-units you will find:Question-skills units:átwo pages on understanding and creating questions. These micro-units occur after every unit in the book, so as to recycle the same question patterns in different linguistic contexts,áRevision workouts:áthese are retrieval practice tasks aimed at keeping the previously learnt vocabulary alive. They too occur at regular intervals, after every other unit.Please note thatáThe Language Gym language-gym.com websiteáis an ideal supplement to this booklet. Our website recycles every single lexical and structural item found in this book many times over via self-marking vocabulary, reading & listening workouts, in addition to engaging and fun games and a powerful Verb, Listening Trainer, Vocab & Sentence Trainer.
