Abstract

This paper describes how to use a multimedia authoring tool (MALTED) as a part of a university German language module. A number of examples illustrate how to practise some features of German grammar based on authentic audio and video material. Exercises have been designed for intermediate and advanced learners as part of a self-study programme. We hope to show that MALTED allows for user-friendly, focused and differentiated computer-assisted grammar activities which should encourage colleagues to share, re-use and redesign material for a range of levels and purposes.
