Experience relevant to the project idea<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department for German Language and Comparative Literature which is part of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and has currently 19 professors, over 70 staff members as well as lecturers and guests from abroad. The Department of German and Comparative Literature is divided into seven sections, many of which cooperate with each other, but which also develop their own teaching and research activities and present themselves comprehensively on their own department pages. In this project a team representing the Section of German as a Second and Foreign Language and Multilingualism are going to take part. This section focuses on topics such as theories and practice of second\/foreign language acquisition and teacher education in the area of second and foreign languages. Particular emphasis lies in the area of German as a second language in vocational education, professional development of pre- and in-service teachers, digitally supported language teaching, multilingualism in schools and families, multiliteracies, L2 writing and language learning in student exchanges. In teaching, the section offers modules in multilingualism in school contexts for all student teachers enrolled at the university as well as modules and degree programmes in second language teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
