Aim
In order to enable pupils to develop basic linguistic communicative skills in the living foreign language English, teachers need to create real-life, child-centred, and cognitively stimulating situations that enable the development of language ability from Pre-A1 to A1. To this end, they must master the necessary linguistic tools, are familiar with age-appropriate language learning strategies and methodological–didactic strategies of joyful and content-integrative foreign language teaching, and be able to apply these on the basis of linguistic principles.
Content
