Essay-writing in German by W Vivian Davies

In this book, Winifred Davies gives a detailed analysis of the skills involved in writing in German, concentrating on three text types - essays, reports and letters. From the pre-writing stage to the final full stop, the students are encouraged to think through all different stages in the production of a successful text - preparation, structure, style and content. Emphasis is placed throughout the book on developing the students' communicative and discursive skills as well as consolidating their grammatical knowledge. The examples and assignments draw as far as possible on german current affairs. This helps the pupils to get to know the language and the land. At all levels, producing a text in the target language is a complex skill for pupils to learn. Essay-writing in German discusses all the components of this skill and its careful balance of grammar, linguistic analysis and language awareness make it an essential addition to both the student's and the teacher's library.
