OverviewThis innovative language course uses liaison interpreting to teach spoken German to advanced students. Designed to provide an alternative to conversation classes, it is a highly effective aid to language acquisition and consolidation. Interpreting German will improve students' confidence in speaking and discussing a wide variety of contemporary topics. Students learn a range of transferable skills including: * oral proficiency in German and English * presentation skills * linguistic flexibility * cross-cultural awareness. Interpreting German is ideal for those who have not taught interpreting before. The pack includes: * A tutor's book: how to make lessons a success, with notes on class design, preparation, feedback and assessment * student handouts: a wealth of photocopiable resources for use in and outside the classroom * audio cassettes: four hours of dialogues for practice and revision.
