Aim

In education, language is less than ever to be understood as a standardised language. At school locations where multilingualism is practised, children encounter each other whose family, cultural and religious roots can be fundamentally different. An appreciative and inclusive approach to multilingualism and linguistic diversity is possible on the basis of academic and specialised language knowledge as well as intercultural, interreligious and language-sensitive competence in accordance with the current state of language learning and teaching research.
