About this book

This book is designed for adult learners aiming to pass the Goethe-Zertifikat at the B1 level in German. It is structured around CEFR-based learning outcomes and aligns with official EU teaching guidelines, making it an ideal resource for both self-study and classroom use. Developed in collaboration with several European universities, this book is a trusted method for teaching second languages in adult education across the European Union. The content covers 45 practical topics and essential grammar, vocabulary, and dialogues with real-world contexts, including videos, websites, and reading texts, simplified to suit the B1 level. Students will not only master the language but also gain insights into German culture and daily life. The book trains all four language skills: writing, listening, speaking, and reading. Audio and video resources are included, with optional AI-driven corrections through the coLanguage app. This app provides personalized feedback, tracks progress, and adapts exercises to individual learning needs. Writing corrections can be done through the portal, and speaking practice can be done with a coLanguage teacher or your own instructor. For teachers, this book offers a comprehensive learning method with progress tracking, reports on student difficulties, and automatic personalization of exercises. It is well-suited for classroom use, as it supports both online teaching and in-person lessons with class presentations. The book covers 60-80 learning hours, making it perfect for a semester-long course. This book is part of a complete series that spans levels from A1 to C1, providing a structured and progressive path for learners to achieve their language goals and prepare effectively for the Goethe-Zertifikat exam.
