The author, a native German speaker and Head of German in a British school, has produced a visually attractive, humorous set of topical exercise masters. A variety of activities (comprehension, vocabulary learning, discovering quests, multiple choice activities, matching activities, gap filling, translations etc.) and the most common structures and tenses (present, perfect and future tenses) are used to practice vocabulary in context - all readily accessible and student friendly. Where appropriate, amusing accounts and stories, dialogues, cartoons and selections of prose present the new vocabulary within an interesting and upbeat 'environment'.

This tried and tested resource includes an alphabetical reference section grouped into categories relating to the exercises (e.g. self, friends, personal relationships, education, holiday activities, shopping, jobs, work experience, hobbies, leisure, health, social issues, environment etc.) and is fully photocopiable. Adhering to the new spelling rules for German, the exercises, alongside the topic dictionary, are extremely timesaving and useful in many other areas too. Students will find the material ideal for revision and test preparation, and it will help them with related writing tasks. Teachers can use this resource for introducing or practising new vocabulary and will find the endless extension possibilities extremely useful. Incidentally, the resource provides invaluable instant cover lesson material, which does not necessarily require initial delivery by language teachers! A boon in the classroom, the exercises are ideal for home study use too and, although they follow the AQA syllabus for GCSE (students aged 14 -16), the exercises are relevant to all learners at intermediate level.

The resource includes 20 worksheets and a topic dictionary containing 38 pages of relevant vocabulary.
