Erk, Heinrich; Goetze, Lutz: Kaufmann, Gerhard – Zielsprache Deutsch, 1978
Examines validity of claims made for the Mannheim Rating (of teaching texts for German as a foreign language), as well as its criteria for judging textbooks. The nonexistence of a comprehensive grammar of contemporary German makes it difficult to discuss grammar; therefore, some ratings are seen as too harsh. (IFS/WGA)
