Aim
In education, language is less than ever a single language. At school locations with living multilingualism, children meet others whose family, cultural, and religious roots can be fundamentally different. An appreciative approach to multilingualism and linguistic diversity succeeds on the basis of subject-specific and specialised linguistic knowledge according to the current state of language learning and teaching research.
