The contributors to this volume examine the factors shaping German-language study in the new millennium, highlighting how creative, innovative, inspired approaches have allowed German to weather many of its challenges. The volume will be of interest to scholars, teachers, and students of German who are committed to invigorating its study in the United States"--$cProvided by publisher
