Aim
When children start school, their linguistic environment changes in a qualitatively significant way, as they deal intensively with the written form of the German language and the differences in register. In activity-orientated lessons that take into account German as a first and second language, pupils acquire child-appropriate, language-sensitive strategies that enable them to describe linguistic elements, structures and rules in their own or a new language and to relate languages to each other. Didactic and methodological models for GFL lessons are given special consideration.
