MIT RAHMENCURRICULA AUF DEM WEG ZUM STUDIENBEGLEITENDEN FREMDSPRACHENUNTERRICHT VON MORGEN

Rezumat

The aim of our contribution is to show how the framework curricula for the teaching of German and foreign languages which were developed in ten countries during a project for cross-curricular university language education in the period 1998-2014 can support teachers, even under difficult circumstances such as during the pandemic. The holistic approach of these curricula leads teachers to create teaching materials which allow their students to enjoy learning and to develop not only their linguistic, but also methodological, social and personal competences relevant to their future careers. Teaching examples from online classes at Bocconi University (Italy) and hybrid classes at the University in Novi Sad, (Serbia) are presented, which prove that the motivation and creativity of learners, who often perceive professional and technical language as something dry and overly factual, can be  stimulated by appropriate working methods and targeted teaching materials. Appropriate teaching materials can be created for
German classes as well as for any other foreign language classes, since the indications of principles, objectives, contents and procedures contained in the framework curricula are cross-linguistic and are not bound to the teaching of a single language, although they have been written in German by German lecturers.
