The popular "På tapeten" has been revised and continues to offer current and relevant topics that touch everyone. The new edition includes two additional themes and a CD with all the texts narrated. Please note: The CD is sold separately under ISBN 9147904798 and is therefore not included with this book. This material is suitable for those who have already made some progress in Swedish.
The texts are informative yet simple and accessible. The exercises emphasize reading comprehension, vocabulary, and discussion skills. This comprehensive revision of "På tapeten" retains the original concept valued by many teachers and students: a focus on current, universal, and interesting topics. All previous chapters have been retained but revised or expanded. The modern family principle and perspectives on environmental issues are now also covered.
The texts consist of both longer, in-depth pieces and short news flashes. Simple texts alternate with more complex ones, while serious topics are combined with more lighthearted content. Furthermore, statistical data in the form of tables has been included for your reference.
Exercises focus on reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills. There are also grammar exercises that highlight typically challenging aspects of learning Swedish as a second language, such as sentence structure, verb tenses, pronouns, adjectives, and noun declension. Discussion opportunities have been expanded with numerous stimulating questions. A new component is the CD with spoken texts, which is expected to be a supplementary tool. A third component is a separately available answer booklet.
Characteristic of "På tapeten" is its emphasis on informative prose, ample opportunities for discussion, and skills such as analyzing statistics with topics that are universally human and not just Swedish.
