Winter semester 2023/24

Students, colleagues and members of the public are warmly invited to our second series of lectures Language-Sensitive Teaching and Learning in (Subject) Teaching, in which we aim to advance the interdisciplinary discourse on the language-forming and language-promoting role of (subject) teaching with the help of renowned external speakers. The series of lectures will be offered in a hybrid format (in-person/online).

It is now widely accepted that language learning and subject-specific learning are closely interlinked, and therefore every lesson must also take the linguistic aspect of teaching into account. The series of lectures brings together perspectives from educational science, subject-specific didactics and language didactics on the role of language in teaching and learning processes, and addresses the complexity of school-based learning situations in the context of linguistic heterogeneity. In addition to the question of the competences to be acquired, the series examines existing concepts, research findings and approaches for various school subjects (including biology, physics, general studies, literature, history, philosophy/values and norms, and physical education) and different school levels. This provides students with an interdisciplinary insight into research on language within subject areas, as well as into practical issues and applications in schools and higher education.

The lecture aims to strengthen students’ key competences in the field of subject-integrated language education and support, and German as a second and foreign language. Students will thus gain an interdisciplinary insight into research and school practice at the interface between language and subject teaching .

The course (No. 3.01.109) is listed under the area of specialisation (pb316, pb331, pb332) or as an interdisciplinary module (ipb611) and is open to students from all Schools for face-to-face attendance. Students can find the course under course number 3.01.1091 in Stud.IP. The option to participate online via BBB is aimed at external participants and guests.

The series of lectures is organised by colleagues from the Institute for German Studies. The DiZ Research Academy provides the organisational framework for its delivery.
