Modern German Plays: An Advanced German Textbook
utilizes some of the most famous modern plays written in German as vehicles to teach German language, literature, and culture.
The featured works are The Three-Penny Opera, The Devil's General, Caucasian Chalk Circle, The Chinese Wall, Visit, A Sports Play, and Innocence.
The authors of these masterpieces include not only world-renowned dramatists such as Brecht, Zuckmayer, Frisch, and Durrenmatt but also such celebrated contemporary female playwrights such as Nobel-laureate Jelinek and Loher.
Designed to meet the instructional needs of advanced German courses, this volume combines a number of pedagogically proven foreign language teaching and learning strategies, primarily the communicative approach and the three-stage reading strategy.
The organization of the featured plays by chapter provides the instructor with not only a welcome teaching and learning resource but also a convenient and flexible course management tool so that each instructor can decide how many plays to include in the syllabus and how to proceed in covering the plays.
