Product Description
by Sheila Smith McKoy (Author)
This intermediate workbook, like the other materials in the Norsk, nordmenn og Norge series, regards communication as the primary goal of language learning. Experience has shown that students need to pass through a period of meaningful structural practice as they develop their communication skills. The workbook aims to provide that practice in psychologically realistic and useful ways, combining entertaining activities with more traditional exercises.
Toward these ends, the workbook features:
an extensive overview of the basics of Norwegian grammar, providing a ready reference throughout the course
a thorough review of elementary Norwegian vocabulary and grammar, allowingstudents whose preparation in the language differs to share a common knowledge base
Hvem er du? sections that encourage the learner to personalize the material
Litt av hvert sections that provide short summaries of the anthology s reading passages (lesestykker) while reviewing common problems with vocabulary and grammar
crossword puzzles and cartoons.
Norsk, nordmenn og Norge: Arbeidsbok (Workbook) is a companion to the Norsk, nordmenn og Norge: Antologi (Anthology) and Laererveiledning (Teacher s Manual)."
