Vorsprung is an innovative and lively first-year program that uses a five-skills approach, emphasizing the acquisition of communicative as well as cultural competence without sacrificing attention to formal accuracy. Utilizing "focus on form" activities in an engaging, personalized fashion, Vorsprung helps students develop realistic abilities in speaking, listening, and reading German. The program presents a systematic, clear introduction to the essentials of German grammar and practices high-frequency structures and vocabulary in interactive activities. In addition, it provides students with the cultural knowledge that is relevant to their own lives and then asks them to compare their cultures to the habits and behaviors of the German-speaking peoples of Europe. In order to prepare students for successful communication in today's rapidly changing world, Vorsprung exposes them to a wealth of spoken and written authentic textual materials. To support this focus on spoken and written German, Vorsprung offers an array of in-class activities that foster accuracy and provide ample opportunities for students to practice German in authentic contexts.

4.0 out of 5 stars
No quia access code,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vorsprung: A Communicative Introduction to German Language and Culture [With CDROM] (German Edition) (Hardcover)
Although the description doesn't say anything about having a quia code, I assume it would come with the book. However if you need the online quia access code, this book does NOT come with it. To find the one that includes it, search for the following ISBN: 9780618988501. This ISBN is the textbook with the quia access code and audio CD. Nevertheless, the packages that come up online with this ISBN cost just as much if not more than it would cost to buy this textbook without the quia code on Amazon, and then purchase the access code directly through Cengage.
Besides this point, the text book seems fairly good. No real complaints.

Vorsprung review,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vorsprung: A Communicative Introduction to German Language and Culture [With CDROM] (German Edition) (Hardcover)
The textbook had writing on many pages in pen and pencil. Sometimes the writing covers the actual print from the book.
