Activating and integrating individual multilingualism in foreign language teaching
Worshop for foreign language teachers
The workshop uses different foreign languages to demonstrate how multilingualism can be meaningfully integrated into language instruction and students’ learning process.
After an introduction to the topics of 'multilingualism/plurilingualism’ and 'plurilingual language teaching didactics', several approaches that are currently being discussed intensively in teaching practice (and research) will be briefly presented. Mostly, you will experience intercomprehension, examine types of intercomprehension tasks in depth and review existing language teaching materials to be adapted to your own teaching contexts. You will learn how to implement intercomprehension strategies in your teaching and therefore be ready to use them.
Intended learning outcomes
Experience intercomprehension and learn:
- Why you should incorporate plurilingualism in your teaching
- What approaches are available (e.g. intercomprehension)
- How you can incorporate it into your teaching practice
- What materials and principles you can draw on
