Digitalization in the teaching of German

The research project pursues two goals: On the one hand, teaching units for German classes will be developed that invite reflection on topics in the field of digital communication (e.g. fake news, the relationship between the private and the public, or WhatsApp communication). On the other hand, a module for in-service teacher training that focuses on working with digital language resources is to be designed. A further dimension of the project is owed to the pandemic: Additional research shall investigate both how digitalised German lessons are organised (e.g. via video chats) and how this new communicative practice itself can be made the object of reflection in the classroom.
