Oxford University Press TV Aktuell: CD-ROM

Following the success of TV und Texte, our video and CD-ROM package of topical news extracts from German TV, we have produced a new version: TV Aktuell - an ideal resource for the new A-level specifications. The 40-minute video contains 16 news extracts from the German TV station Zweites Deutsches Fernschen (ZDF). Topics include homelessness, launch of the Euro, computers, women in society, and many others relating to the new A-level specifications. There are introductory comments for each units, plus key words and phrases in subtitles to reinforce vocabulary and aid understanding. The Teacher's Resource Book contains photocopiable worksheets, graded activities, and transcripts, plus teacher's notes giving a wide range of teaching ideas. The CD-ROM is a completely self-contained learning resource with instant access to video clips, transcripts, notes, exercises, and a student's notepad. A special feature, which proved so popular with TV und Texte, is the voice-recording facility which allows students to record and play back their own commentary over the video sequences. The CD runs on IBM-PC and compatibles with 80386SX processor or better and minimum 2Mb RAM.
