6. Confirmation:
In all exercises done with the tape, the student will hear immediate confirmation of his responses. The
Guide for Review at the end of each unit teIls the student which
supplementary exercises he should do to remedy his deficiencies
which were revealed to hirn by having failed certain items on the
Self-evaluation Quiz.
7. Module Length and Content: The length of the nine modules
varies. The reason for the difference in length is that initially
the student has to learn the fundamentals of understanding, speaking and reading German, while in later modules these basic language skills are amplified and reinforced by new vocabulary items
and structures pertinent to the situation covered. Therefore,
students are not expected to spend the same amount of study time
on each module.
