The textbook in the tables “Deutschland im Porträt” contains material that will contribute to the formation of socio-cultural and socio-linguistic competencies of students during the study of German in primary and secondary schools. Each of the 16 federal states of Germany is represented by a carefully selected photo gallery: architectural monuments, picturesque corners of nature, panoramas of cities, portraits of famous people, folklore festivals and more. The separate tables show the physical and administrative maps of the Federal Republic of Germany, as well as the coats of arms of the federal states. The content and structure of the manual correspond to the German language program for secondary schools and the State Standard for Basic and Complete Secondary Education.
