Abstract: The Master’s level seminar “Language Learning Futures” was designed as a teaching and learning lab (LLL) within the Teaching English as a Foreign Lan-guage strand of teacher education. An initial interventional training with an authoring software provided students with competencies required to design digital learning en-vironments. The fo...

If education is to prepare learners for lifelong learning, there needs to be a shift toward deeper learning: a focus on transferable knowledge and problem-solving skills alongside the development of a positive or growth mind-set. Deeper learning is inextricably linked with subject-specific processes of constructing and communicating knowledge. Ther...

If education is to prepare learners for lifelong learning, there needs to be a shift towards deeper learning: a focus on transferable knowledge and problem-solving skills alongside the development of a positive or growth mindset. In this book, a follow up to CLIL, the authors review new developments in the understanding of the interface between lan...

This article illustrates how the Pluriliteracies Teaching for Deeper Learning Model can inform the systematic integration of digital media in the EFL classroom in order to design deeper learning episodes.

Übung macht den Meister, aber was kann und soll überhaupt geübt werden und vor allem wie? Dieser Beitrag befasst sich mit fachspezifischen Argumentationsmustern von Erklärungen im Chemieunterricht und wie sich diese durch gezieltes Üben vertiefen lassen. Zunächst wird ein kurzer Überblick gegeben, warum das Schreiben von Erklärungen im Chemieunterr...

In its first iteration, Pluriliteracies Teaching for Learning’s primary focus rests on the relationship between the cognitive and the linguistic dimension of learning. The model emphasizes the need for learners to actively make connections between those two dimensions and identifies the processes of knowledge construction and knowledge sharing as t...

Deeper learning and the development of transferable knowledge and skills are highly desirable goals in Higher Education programs. However, current studies indicate that these goals are rarely achieved. In this article, we will present a model of deeper learning that promotes the development of disciplinary literacies and transferable knowledge. Bas...

Pluriliterales Lernen rückt die Entwicklung von Sachfachliteralität in mehr als einer Sprache in den Vordergrund. Unter Sachfachliteralität verstehen wir die Fähigkeit, sich nicht nur an zunehmend komplexen Fachdiskursen erfolgreich zu beteiligen, sondern erworbenes Fachwissen über kulturelle und sprachliche Grenzen adäquat zu kommunizieren - diese...

This article explores how a group of educators and researchers enacted an inclusive process of conceptual growth involving teachers and teacher educators as active agents, knowledge builders and meaning-makers in the development of a Pluriliteracies approach to Teaching for Learning (PTL). The evolution of a working model based on five emergent pri...

In this first article, we would like to make a case for pluriliteracies as an appropriate framework for mapping the broader goals of 21st-century plurilingual education involving critical thinking, knowledge creation, application, and communication as well as social participation within and across individual subjects of schooling. We will argue tha...

Pluriliteracies Teaching for Learning (PTL) constitutes a relatively recent development in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). This approach has been developed by a group of international experts (The Graz Group) to model and provide pathways for deeper learning across languages, disciplines, and cultures by focusing on the development...

Putting a Pluriltieracies into Practice was written in order to address the practical dimensions of the PTL approach. The document introduces the five principles of PTL and demonstrates how these principles will enable teachers and practitioners to design deeper learning pathways for their students.

El aprendizaje integrado de contenidos y lengua extranjera (AICLE/CLIL) está tomando un impulso considerable, prueba de ello es que está siendo integrado en los programas académicos de toda Europa. Sin embargo, hay todavía una falta de materiales didácticos adecuados para su práctica, y queda todavía por desarrollar un enfoque CLIL integral e integ...

Over the past decades content and language integrated learning (CLIL) research has predominantly focused on the language proficiency of CLIL learners. The results are very promising and show that working language skills in learners, especially reading and listening skills, can be improved through a CLIL programme. Studies focusing on subject learne...

Die Arbeit an sachfachlichen Themen in englischer Sprache erfordert ganz spezielle Strategien respektive Lern-und Arbeitstechniken, die schon in den Klassen 5 und insbesondere gezielt aufgebaut werden müssen.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is currently gaining considerable momentum and it is being integrated into curricula all across Europe. However, there is still a lack of appropriate teaching materials and a comprehensive and integrative CLIL methodology has yet to be developed. Legitimate concerns have been raised that practitioners...

Es ist an der Zeit, der "Cinderella of language teaching" die Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken, die der Ausspracheschulung angesichts ihrer Bedeutung für die Ausbildung kommunikativer Kompetenzen gebührt. Besonders vielversprechend ist dabei die Beschäftigung mit der Prosodie, den "musical signals" (rhythm and melody" der gesprochenen Sprache die die mün...

Die Überlegungen im Beitrag des Basishefts "Neue Wege in der Ausspracheschulung. Aufgabenbasiertes Prosodietraining" werden hier durch verschiedene Übungsformen für den Unterrichtsalltag präzisiert.

Forschungsbasierte Materialentwicklung eines Vorbereitungskurses für den bilingualen Unterricht im 5. und 6. Schuljahr

Materialien für den bilingualen Unterricht - Fachübergreifende Begleitmaterialien: 5./6. Schuljahr - Workbook

Der bilinguale Sachfachunterricht gewinnt in vielen Bundesländern zunehmend an Beliebtheit, die wachsende Anzahl der Veröffentlichungen zu diesem Thema belegt, dass sich die Fremdsprachendidaktik verstärkt diesem Thema zuwendet, und gleichzeitig beweist die DESI-Studie die Wirksamkeit des Bilingualen Sachfachunterrichts oder – eigentlich zutreffend...
