Cultural techniques
Aim
Writing and reading are motor, sensory and cognitive multidimensional cultural techniques whose acquisition incorporates a wide range of previous experiences with language(s), writing and narrative culture(s). Accompanying children on their way to written language means entering into a linguistic relationship with them in order to further develop their oral expression skills as the basis of thinking through writing. In this course, methods for developing reading and writing skills at the word, sentence and text level and for orthographic and grammatical language(s) observation are developed.
Content
- Prerequisites for the acquisition of written language in a multilingual and heterogeneous society: Pre-literacy skills, literacy experiences and language diversity in the school entry phase
- Models of written language acquisition in the context of specialised didactic research into written language acquisition (also in the context of DaZ)
- Promotion of basic reading skills and reading comprehension at word, sentence and text level
- Basic orthographic-grammatical knowledge and competence-orientated spelling strategies as well as development level-appropriate observation methods for spelling development
- Grammar and semantics in reading and spelling didactics
- Targeted and explicit introduction of working and reference techniques as the basis for independent discovery and learning
- Individualised, reading-promoting learning environments
- language reflection and language observation on a grammatical and text-structural level, utilising the resources of a linguistically heterogeneous classroom

The graduates ...
- are able to recognise pre-literacy skills and literacy experiences in the school entry phase and - also taking into account diverse first languages in the classroom - align their didactic planning accordingly.
- are familiar with models of written language acquisition and the importance of phonological information processing and phonological differences between different first languages in connection with the development of reading and spelling skills.
- can teach spelling and reading strategies with regard to basic reading skills and reading comprehension, taking into account the grammatical competences of the learners.
- develop individual, reading-promoting learning environments.
- are able to use developmentally appropriate observation methods for reading and spelling development on the basis of theoretical and action-orientated fundamental knowledge and taking into account the child's language biography.
- are able to plan learning scenarios for the developmental stage-appropriate, individualised promotion of reading and spelling skills on the basis of ongoing observation and sound basic grammatical and orthographic knowledge.
- can teach differentiated and creative approaches and reference techniques in reading and spelling lessons.
- are familiar with the development of language awareness and methodological-didactic models and concepts for language observation, in particular German grammar and spelling, in the linguistically heterogeneous classroom.
