CAPL-German, the pilot project for culturally authentic license-free imagery! By Michael Shaughnessy & Jason Parkhill. This project was made possible by a grant from Washington & Jefferson College. Visitors are encouraged to explore, browse, test, and comment on the site. Good for flashcard pictures and other culturally relevant images.

Select authentic texts dealing with issues of interest to young Germans. For intermediate learners and up. The goal is to enhance reading skills and strategies. Includes tasks and material for teachers. A good resource provided by the Goethe Institute.

This site for intermediate German students provides historical background for the division of Germany, focusing on the construction of the wall, developments in East and West Berlin, political and economic problems in East Germany, and the eventual fall of the Wall. It presents texts and historic pictures of the postwar-era, study questions (in English) and follow-up assignments (in German) connected with each subunit. A relevant and interesting resource for information from this era. There is also a sister presentation on Germany five years after the Wende.
