The role of a teacher in a CLIL classroom
Get PDFCLIL classrooms are not typical language classrooms due to the fact that language is the medium through which content is “transported”. Non-linguistic content is used to teach a language and learners acquire new knowledge but in a foreign language. The following paper provides an outline of research on the role of a teacher in a CLIL classroom. Starting with a brief insight into the phenomenon of CLIL, and a general overview of the qualitative studies based on observations, questionnaires and interviews, the article focuses particularly on the main features of a CLIL teacher
Medienwirkungen beim Lernen am Beispiel des Vokabellernens
Get PDFThis study describes an experiment in vocabulary learning. The vocabulary was presented to students in two different forms, the classical one (a list of vocabulary presented on a paper sheet), and a computer-generated one (to guarantee validity: with the same list as shown on the paper sheet). No other variables have influenced learning. The remembrance of the vocabulary was tested immediately after, one day after and one week after learning. The results: Vocabulary remembrance was strikingly worse when learning from the computer screen in comparison with learning the classical way, from the paper sheet

Der „kommunikative Raum“ in der kulturologischen (Un)Höflichkeitsforschung
Get PDF-The paper attempts to define the term "communicative space” for (im)politeness research. “Communicative space” is a crucial notion for the definition of concepts such as “ritual balance”, “discursive rule”, “discursive position”, “territoriality”, “field of action” and “co-construction of communicative interaction” (Jacoby, Ochs 1995). “Communicative space” cannot be reduced to the mere physical space in which an (im)polite communicative interaction takes place (“transactional space” according to Kendon 1990). It is a mental space, which is “co-constructed” in so far as it is the result of the convergence of the mental worlds of interactants mediated by utterences. In this sense it can be defined as a “phenomenal space” which is ruled by structuring principles and field laws. The capacity of creating convergent communicative spaces is a key competence which lays the foundations for dialogue capacity and permits successful communicative interactions; therefore it is defined as a very important educational goal in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (2001)

Gilt das Stereotyp der polnischen Wirtschaft immer noch? Zu den Veränderungen in Polen aus imagologischer Perspektive
Get PDFThe main focus the paper investigates concerns Polish-German relations from the perspective of imagology.
