Fokus Deutsch has been rewritten and fully updated.

The four topic groups include:

- My World,

- Holiday Time and Travel,

- Work and Lifestyle,

- The Young Person in Society

There are new activities in each unit, with stepped tasks throughout to make the course fully accessible. There is also an increased emphasis on resourcing coursework requirements.

The Students' Book contains: revision grammar spreads in each module; differentiated tasks in each unit to challenge more able students; skills spreads linked to assessment; thematic English-German vocabulary section. ICT support is provided in a separate software package, and on a website: www.oup.com/uk/fokusdeutsch. Fokus Deutsch Hilfe workbooks offer consolidation and further practice. Recordings for the course are now available on CD as well as cassette.
