The coursebook helps students develop their German language skills as they explore the five themes from the new IB Diploma Language B guide: identities, experiences, human ingenuity, social organisation and sharing the planet. Each unit begins with ‘bigquestions’ that get learners thinking about global topics such as, ‘how do we express our identity?’ These help students appreciate wider issues before developing their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills through international texts, practiceexercises and activities in the style of the exam. Answers to questions and audio files for the listening exercises are in the teacher’s resource.
