Themen aktuell is an updated and reworked edition of Themen neu, with new pictures and up-to-date photographs in a modern layout.Communication is still the principal aim and students are encouraged to participate actively in conversations mirroring everyday situations and discussions on relevant topics. A wide range of texts have been chosen to form the basis of the listening and reading comprehension exercises and the understanding of grammatical structures with summaries included at intervals for revision purposes. There are also numerous exercises to consolidate vocabulary and checklists for reference and revision. A website offering further information on the course, including worksheets and downloads is now available for students and teachers under www.themen-aktuell.de
