Essay from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,3, University of Trier, language: English, abstract: At German elementary schools a development in teaching focus in the last years should actually have taken place: there has officially been a partly shift from traditional subjects, such as mathematics to modern languages, such as English or French. Fifteen years ago, however, foreign languages were rarely taught at German elementary schools, and if they were given room in the children’s timetable, they played only a subordinate part in it. On the contrary, foreign languages are included in the timetable today, but many schools decided to teach them integrated into the other subjects. Honestly speaking, this seems to be a really good solution, but during a work experience at a German elementary school, I discovered that none of the three or four teachers of one class feels responsible for carrying out the task. Talking to the responsible teachers, they admitted being aware of this deplorable situation but do not want to focus more on languages needing the time to teach the basics of the other subjects. I definitely cannot approve of this because there is an abundance of aspects why foreign language teaching should start at the latest at elementary school and should also be very intense to secure the best development of the child as possible, which can be proven by answering opposition, explaining the main reasons, naming the positive results, and giving examples.

Essay from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, University of Trier, language: English, abstract: “We need to change our education system” – utterances such as this one are commonly heard. In German elementary schools a development in teaching focus in the last few years is said to have actually taken place: officially, there has been a small shift from traditional subjects, such as mathematics, on modern languages, such as English or French. Fifteen years ago, however, foreign languages were rarely taught at German elementary schools, and if they were given room in the children’s timetable, they played only a subordinate role. On the contrary, foreign languages are included in the timetable today, but many schools decided to teach them integrated into the other subjects, which makes no teacher feel especially responsible for carrying out the task – most teachers seem to be aware of this deplorable situation but do not want to focus more on languages, needing the time to teach the basics of the other subjects. This cannot be tolerated and there are abundant aspects to why foreign language teaching should start at the latest at elementary school level.

An increasing number of multilingual students, often with a migration background, are attending elementary schools in Germany these days. Also on the rise is the number of schools offering a bilingual program, where content subjects such as science and mathematics are taught in a foreign language. This book explores minority and majority language students' German and English reading and writing skills in elementary schools which offer either regular English-as-subject lessons or bilingual programs with varying degrees of English intensity. The focus is on effects of foreign language input intensity with respect to students' language background, gender, cognitive abilities, and socio-economic background. This book also provides recommendations for English reading and writing activities in the elementary school classroom.

The theme of this collection is a discussion of the notions of 'norms' and 'standards', which are studied from various different angles, but always in relation to the English language. These terms are to be understood in a very wide sense, allowing discussions of topics such as the norms we orient to in social interaction, the benchmark employed in teaching, or the development of English dialects and varieties over time and space and their relation to the standard language. The collection is organized into three parts, each of which covers an important research field for the study of norms and standards. Part 1 is entitled "English over time and space" and is further divided into three thematic subgroups: standard and non-standard features in English varieties and dialects; research on English standardization processes; and issues of standards and norms in oral production. Part 2 deals with "English usage in non-native contexts," and Part 3 is dedicated to "Issues on politeness and impoliteness." The notions of standards and norms are equally important concepts for historical linguists, sociolinguists with a variationist background, applied linguists, pragmaticians, and discourse analysts.

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Didactics - English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 2,3, Bielefeld University, language: English, abstract: The discussion about aims, content and methods of foreign language lessons resulted in demands for a broader integration of intercultural learning. Jörg Roche, who dedicated one chapter of his book Interkulturelle Sprachdidaktik: Eine Einführung to the role of intercultural language didactics in the teaching and learning of foreign languages, makes specific suggestions about restructuring the traditional concepts of foreign language lessons. According to him, the best learning success is achieved when intercultural learning and foreign language teaching are integrated. He explains conclusively that language and culture are inseparably bound to one another. Roche also warns not to use isolated or poorly researched pieces of cultural information, since this would lead to a falsified image of the target culture and prevent the learners from authentic language use. Roche's appeal illustrates the growing need of intercultural communication. Young pupils in Germany do not only live in a country that maintains contact with cultures all over the world, but they are also part of a multicultural society that is mirrored by the school classes. Foreign language lessons offer the opportunity to help them deal with it and prepare them for living in a multicultural society. After the introduction of English as a foreign language as an obligatory school subject in the classes 3 and 4 of the primary schools in 2003, it is now possible for the young learners in Germany to exhaust their enormous language learning potential more effectively. However, how they should be taught, and what exactly, is still discussed extensively. The new school subject made it necessary to develop a new curriculum and new school books, which were supposed to meet the needs of the young foreign language learners and the conditions of the guideli
