MindTap for Augustyn/Euba's WELTEN: INTRODUCTORY GERMAN, ENHANCED, combines digital and print resources into a rich, seamless presentation of culture, grammar and vocabulary. Set around 12 German-speaking people and the worlds they live in, it focuses on the development of communicative competence and literacy through texts in various modalities. Students acquire and practice functional language skills while developing interpretive and analytical competencies and an appreciation of the aesthetic qualities of language. Students learn to use language while seeing the world through the eyes of others, ultimately learning about themselves and the world they live in. This all-new approach to introductory German delivers an innovative and integral video program, a contextualized and learner-centered presentation of grammar and a unique selection of engaging texts from a broad range of genres.
