| Description | The book represents the results of a project of an active search for attractive approaches to Teaching German as a Foreign Language. And not only that: one should proceed interactively in order to reach his/her goal faster. The book invites the readers to adopt the perspectives of the committed (co-)authors and to join them in the search for convincing approaches to contemporary Teaching of GFL that have been tried and tested in practice. "Active and attractive: a challenge" was the original motto when compiling the individual chapters. German has tradition, German is difficult, German is a plus, German comes only after English, German is the language of the neighbors, German is needed for professional life - these may appear as contradictory assertions, but each with a grain of truth. What does the young generation know about this, the generation that matters? In any case, the community of GFL teachers is inventive - it has to be! They strive to motivate their students and make learning German more appealing for them. For they know very well: once you have managed the compulsory exercises and can move on to the freestyle, then it becomes really attractive to orient oneself in the language, to feast on it, to understand nuances and to follow cross-references. Through the German language, one can approach foreign worlds, one can discover Europe and the European Union by listening and reading in the original language or by helping others to communicate. |
