Hauptstrasse 117 - A combined online-offline beginners’ course has developed, in lengthy research and teaching material development, out of the Lingua-project Telenova für den Deutschunterricht. The core of the course, a sociorealistic video series for absolute beginners, has produced unexpected positive results as a framework programme for university presence teaching. It is a soap opera like Lindenstraße or Coronation Street, although this one is with true stories and real people. The video shows us the feelings, hopes, problems and chances of people in Germany during the times of globalization. The entire accompanying material is available - free of charge - as a combination of online excercises and download material in different languages. http://www.hauptstrasse117.de
