Podcast "Hör.Saal": "How do we learn and teach German?"

The need for German courses and well-trained German teachers is increasing. This is also due to the fact that - as a result of the war in Ukraine, for example - many people are coming to German-speaking countries who are not yet proficient in the language. On the other hand, they bring with them a wealth of language skills that should be developed. The exciting field between learning German as a second or foreign language and developing one's own mother tongue as an important qualification in a new home is being researched by scientists at the Center for Didactics of German as a Second Language & Language Education at the University of Graz.

Sabine Schmölzer-Eibinger, Professor of German as a Second Language and Language Didactics, explains in the science podcast "Hör-Saal: 15 Minuten Forschung" how German as a foreign language opens the door to the world and why German as a second language is the basis for social participation and social integration in everyday life. She is also head of the "German as a Foreign and Second Language" course at the University of Graz, which has been producing sought-after experts in practice and research for 20 years.
