German language is taught in Indonesia as a foreign language, or we usually call as DAF (Deutsch als Fremdsprache). This language is taught in formal and non-formal institutions. In this context, it is very important, especially for the teacher to bring interactive and joyfull learning in the classroom, and it is challenging for the teacher. Thus, presenting interesting language in the class, full of innovativation in learning prosess of German language, must be done. One of the choices to get those situations in the classroom is to bring a good media. Film is one alternative that can be presented. This paper discusses how to bring movies in learning a foreign language (German). Further discussion is more about (a) Definition of film, (b) Film, as a medium in teaching learning process, and (c) How to teach German with didactic and methodic in learning German language.
Thinking is an innate human beings capacity that can be developed through learning process. Therefore there is specific purpose on learning that has to be achieved namely gradually developing thinking skills, specifically critical thinking skills. As one aspect that has to be mastered before High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), critical thinking skills have recently emerged as a new focus in education research. In consequence these skills have to be integrated in the classroom, not least in the foreign language classroom. Classroom research has been conducted in the class Lesen II (Reading II) to enhance student's critical thinking skills using problem-based learning. Reading involves specific thinking process to gain comprehensive understanding. The data were collected through observations, interviews, and document. The findings suggest that the development of critical thinking skills using problem-based learning in the Lesen II classroom can be performed into two stages, i.e a) pointing controversial issues and (ii) active learning through discussion and debate. This study confirms that problem-based learning is an effective alternative to develop university student's critical thinking skills in German as foreign language classroom, in the subject Lesen II.
The general objective of this research is to develop interactive teaching materials for the Freier Vortrag course to improve speaking competence of students of the German Language and Literature Department. The specific objectives of this study are (1) to describe the process of developing Freier Vortrag introductory teaching materials to improve the students' speaking competence (2) to describe the product quality of developing Freier Vortrag teaching materials to improve students' speaking competence. This development research uses the concept of Borg and Gall. The existence of textbooks whose content is adjusted to the RPS (Semester Learning Plan) can be a study guide for students and make it easier for students to understand the Freier Vortrag lecture material. The material presented in the textbook consists of five chapters, namely Basic Concepts of Speeches, Speeches in the World of Education, Speeches in the World of Politics, Speeches in the World of Business, and Speeches in the World of Work.

Reading is an important skill in German language teaching and learning. Based on preliminary observations, it is shown that some of German learners have difficulties to understand texts. This condition leads to a lot of problems. One of the problems raises is the capability of German learners which are vary each others. So, it is important to use different strategies in learning and teaching process in reading class.This paper aims to know the implementation and problematic from the strategy of Binnendifferenzierung in reading learning for German beginner learners in Universitas Negeri Surabaya. The writer found the indications, that Germanlearners have low capability in understanding reading texts. These Problems are caused by; (1) minimum amount of vocabularies, (2) low motivation for reading, (3) gaps in abilities between learners. This paper is based on qualitative descriptive research. This research was done in reading class for German learners in Universitas Negeri Surabaya, They were in the forth study semester. This paper will describe the implementation and the problematic of using this Binnenifferenzierung strategy. Results showed that the reading comprehension ability of low group learners increased after the implementation of the strategy. Problematic in the implementation of Binnendifferenzierung found is that it needs a long time for preparation in applying the strategy. The heterogeneity of learners' abilities take a long time for the researcher or lecturer to prepare the assignment instrument for the text.
