The Student Activities Manual is divided into two sections: a workbook that focuses on writing, and a lab manual that develops listening comprehension. Each section corresponds to a chapter in the student text. In the workbook section, there are process-writing activities (Aufgaben zur schriftlichen Kommunikation), and controlled grammar exercises (Aufgaben zur Struktur). The lab manual section accompanies the SAM Audio Program (available on the Book's Premium Website only), and provides listening comprehension (Aufgaben zum Hörverständnis).
