Book details
Summary
Description
STATIONEN: EIN KURSBUCH FÜR DIE MITTELSTUFE, Fourth Edition is an intermediate German program that combines engaging cultural topics with authentic readings and contextualized grammar in a unifying context. Each chapter of STATIONEN revolves around a city or region in the German-speaking world. This overarching concept brings the program together and invites students and instructors to make connections and comparisons between chapters, topics, and cultural issues. STATIONEN also refers to the "stations" between the first beginnings of a journey into German life and language and to more advanced study and exploration on the intermediate level. In addition, the accompanying video component contains footage of videoblogs from eleven cities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland that complements the textbooks content and serves as windows to contemporary German culture. These snapshots of everyday life connect interview clips with images of public spaces to move students beyond the realm of ordinary language instruction and into the scenarios and situations that reflect a developing German speaker's real-world needs.

This textbook was required for my Intermediate German class, and I can say it is by far one of the best language textbooks I've used. I like how interactive it is with German culture, history and geography.
The books chapters are divided into stations. Each station brings you to a different location in Germany and gives you a cool rundown of the city and area. This textbook uses a lot of german in the practice questions and articles to help challenge you and interact with German, so it would be harder for someone to use who is just beginning to learn the language.
The fact that it is not a hardcover is probably the only thing about the book I don't like.
