Module 1: Nachhaltigkeit

www.diercke.de

This module introduces students to the concept of sustainability through video, discussion, personal reflection, and group consensus. Students are exposed to vocabulary and central issues within sustainability for use in subsequent modules. A set of grammar exercises allows for a transition between the types of exercises found in curricular materials with a focus on language learning and the primarily interpretive nature of the other materials in this module and others.
