Die zum Fremdsprachenerwerb wesentliche Vermittlung interkultureller Kommunikationskompetenzen wird in den verfügbaren Lehrplänen in Manitoba für Deutsch als Fremdsprache vorausgesetzt. Eine Umfrage unter den Deutschlehrern sowie repräsentative Interviews zeigen, dass interkulturelle Kommunikationskompetenzen in der Praxis oft nicht ihrem Wichtigkeitsgrad entsprechend in den Unterricht integriert werden. Der Erfolg des DaF-Programms in Manitoba hängt dementsprechend von der Sensibilisierung der Lehrer sowie einer Reform und Modernisierung von erforderlichen Prüfungsmöglichkeiten und Qualitätssicherung der Vermittlungsinhalte ab.

This change involves a shift not only in the teacher s role, which passes from that of centralizer, retainer and transmitter of knowledge to facilitator of the process, but also in that of the student, who is now seen to be inserted into a broader learning context and who has now gained the possibility of participating actively in the learning process. In this context, the belief system is perceived as a phenomenon inherent to the affective processes of teachers and/or students, which influences the teaching and learning process and is therefore a relevant factor. In this research of a qualitative nature and ethnographic basis, we sought to investigate and characterize the beliefs of German language students concerning the language and target culture, evaluating their possible origins and how they could be understood by the teacher in the FL teaching/learning process. To achieve these objectives, we sought theoretical backing in belief studies (Barcelos, 2004; Vieira-Abrahão & Barcelos, 2006; Almeida Filho, 1999; Horwitz, 1999 and others) and in assumptions of the interculturality of foreign language teaching and of the understanding of what is foreign (fremd) (Wierlacher, 1998; Weinrich, 1998; Kramsch, 1993; and others). We focused primarily on the concept of intercultural competence (Volkmann, 2002; Weier, 2002; Byram, 2000; and others), seeing it as a way to provide theoretical underpinnings to understand these issues. With this research, we hope to contribute to a better understanding of this construct (beliefs), which has been intensively investigated in the field of language teaching studies. In addition, we aim to provide teachers of German as a FL with critical reflections focusing on learners and on FL teaching as an intercultural practice. / Em um panorama histórico de ensino de línguas estrangeiras (LE) podemos observar, a partir dos anos 70, uma mudança paradigmática, em que os aspectos emocionais e afetivos dos aprendizes assumem posição relevante. Ocorre tanto um deslocamento do papel do professor, que passa de centralizador, detentor e transmissor de saberes, a facilitador do processo, quanto um deslocamento do papel do aluno, que passa a ser considerado como inserido em um contexto mais amplo de ensino e que ganha a possibilidade de participação ativa no processo de aprendizagem. Nesse contexto, o sistema de crenças é então percebido como fenômeno inerente aos fatores afetivos dos professores e/ou dos aprendizes e que vai exercer influência no processo de ensino e aprendizagem sendo, portanto, de caráter relevante. Nesta pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa e base etnográfica, buscamos investigar e caracterizar as crenças de aprendizes de alemão quanto à língua e cultura-alvo, avaliar suas possíveis origens e verificar como elas podem ser compreendidas pelo professor no processo de ensino/aprendizagem de LE. Para alcançar tais objetivos, buscamos respaldo teórico nos estudos das crenças (Barcelos, 2004; Vieira-Abrahão e Barcelos, 2006; Almeida Filho, 1999; Horwitz, 1999 e outros), nos pressupostos da interculturalidade no ensino de línguas estrangeiras e da compreensão do que é estranho (fremd) (Wierlacher, 1998, Weinrich, 1998, Kramsch, 1993 e outros), focalizando principalmente o conceito de competência intercultural (Volkmann, 2002, Weier, 2002, Byram, 2000 e outros), entendendo-o como caminho capaz de fornecer subsídios teóricos para a compreensão de nossas questões. Pretendemos contribuir com esta pesquisa para um melhor entendimento desse construto (crenças), o qual vem sendo intensamente pesquisado no campo de estudo do ensino de línguas. Além disso, buscaremos fornecer a professores de alemão como LE, subsídios para reflexão acerca da prática com foco nos aprendizes e no ensino intercultural de LE.

This thesis deals with the use of mobile touch technologies in German language teaching. The theoretical part of the work collects basic facts and knowledge about mobile touch devices, which are important as a didactic tool. Furthermore, the work on the theoretical level deals with information on teaching applications and teaching methods in which these touch technologies can be used. The Practical part of the work is devoted to the results of the research survey, namely the questionnaire research survey and the results from a sample lesson. The questionnaire survey revealed that mobile touch technologies are not widely distributed in schools and are not widely used during lessons. This thesis seeks to give readers a comprehensive description of the possibilities of didactic and methodical use of mobile touch devices in the teaching of German language.

This diploma thesis focuses on important milestones of the German language teaching at the Czech schools. The aim of the theoretical part is to briefly report on the development of German language teaching and simultaneously serve as a historical base for the practical part. Practical part provides us with the variety of different programmes that lead to support a positive development of the German language teaching. The programs support both quality and quantity and the aim of the practical part is to find out, if they had a positive impact on the development and led to higher preference of German language learning.

The locality was colonized mostly by German immigrants and descendants coming from Germanic regions in Europe and from the Brazilian states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina. Due to this context, the German language was always present in the city, but it has been decreasingly spoken and heard. Recently, the state government has enabled policies for reviving the immigrant languages by offering German courses both in the degree course in Portuguese/German Languages at the local university and in extracurricular classes at CELEM. Nevertheless, the demand of students is minimal and evasion is frequent, threatening the continuity of both courses. Based on this problem, this thesis aims to analyze the language and education policies implemented in the socio-historical and cultural context of that city in order to examine the reason for the state language planning not obtaining positive results in the community. In order to achieve this goal, the epistemological approach in this study is based on interactionism from language studies by the Bakhtin Circle, connected with Applied Linguistics (AL) and Sociolinguistics, focusing on contexts of language and education policies for linguistic minorities. The research methodology, under the interpretive perspective, consists of document analysis on the German teaching in the schools that used to offer it, interviews with teachers, students and directors who participated in various moments of the history of teaching in the locality, and personal experience during research, with quantitative and qualitative data. The results show that the lack of language and education policies for formal teaching of German throughout the local history has contributed to the decline of the immigration language, which was never present in the curriculum at a municipal level, despite the existence of the Municipal Law n. 3922, from 2008, and other Germanic cultural practices. In the case of the existing courses at the university and at CELEM, the factors that influence directly to the non-permanence of students involve teaching and learning methodology, since the immigration language is taught as a foreign language without an effective approach to cultural and local issues, which could deconstruct myths, prejudices and negative attitudes that permeate the contact between languages and their varieties. Therefore, there is the need to set language and education policies through intensive work focused on regional linguistic and cultural diversity in order to minimize the diglossic conflict and promote the strengthening of bilingualism in society with greater community involvement / Esta tese aborda o ensino de língua alemã em Marechal Cândido Rondon, Paraná, Brasil, desde o momento da colonização do município, no início da década de 1950, até a atualidade. Ressalta-se que se trata de uma localidade colonizada, em sua grande maioria, por imigrantes alemães e seus descendentes vindos de regiões germânicas da Europa, do Rio Grande do Sul e de Santa Catarina. Devido a este contexto, a língua alemã sempre esteve presente no município, mas tem sido cada vez menos falada e ouvida. Recentemente, o Governo Estadual tem possibilitado políticas de resgate das línguas de imigrantes com a oferta da língua alemã na Universidade local, no curso de licenciatura em Letras Português/Alemão, e no ensino extracurricular, no CELEM. Todavia, a procura de alunos é pequena e a evasão acontece frequentemente, colocando em risco a continuidade de ambos os cursos. A partir dessa problemática, esta tese tem como propósito verificar as políticas linguísticas e educacionais inseridas no contexto sócio-histórico e cultural do referido município para averiguar o motivo pelo qual o planejamento linguístico do Estado não estar tendo resultados positivos na comunidade. Para tanto, a pesquisa tem como abordagem epistemológica o interacionismo por meio de estudos do Círculo de Bakhtin sobre língua e linguagem, dialogando com a Linguística Aplicada (LA) e com a Sociolinguística, com atenção voltada a contextos sobre políticas linguísticas e educacionais de minorias linguísticas. A metodologia de pesquisa, pela perspectiva interpretativista, consiste na análise documental relativa ao ensino da referida língua em colégios e escolas que a ofertaram, na realização de entrevistas com professores, alunos e diretores que participaram de variados momentos desse histórico do ensino no município, e na vivência pessoal da pesquisa, com dados quantitativos e qualitativos. Os resultados apontam que a falta de políticas linguísticas e educacionais locais voltadas ao ensino formal de alemão, ao longo da história do município, tem contribuído para o enfraquecimento da língua de imigração, que nunca esteve presente na grade curricular, embora haja a Lei municipal no 3922, de 2008, e outras práticas culturais germânicas. No caso dos cursos existentes, universitário e CELEM, os fatores que influenciam diretamente para a não permanência de alunos envolvem a metodologia de ensino e de aprendizagem, pois a língua de imigração é ensinada na modalidade de língua estrangeira, sem um trabalho efetivo com questões culturais e locais, que poderiam desconstruir mitos, preconceitos e atitudes negativas que permeiam o contato entre as línguas e suas variedades. Portanto, sente-se a necessidade da implantação de políticas linguísticas e educacionais, por meio de um trabalho intenso voltado à diversidade linguística e cultural regional que minimize o conflito diglóssico e promova o fortalecimento do bilinguismo na sociedade com o envolvimento maior da comunidade

This diploma thesis deals with trends in German language teaching, focusing on project-based learning. The theoretical part deals with the description of German language in the Framework Educational Programme for Basic Education and with theoretical background of project-based learning. The thesis then focuses on four main parts of a project: planning, realisation, presentation and evaluation. The main aim of the practical part is to prepare a draft of a project for a German language class, which is to be put into practice at elementary school. Based on two surveys filled in by the participants of the project, the practical part compares the opinions of pupils on the project-based learning compared to the traditional way of teaching. It also focuses on the motivational aspect which should be brought about by projects. Keywords Project, Project-based Learning, Teaching Method, German Language Teaching, Cooperation of the Pupils, Elementary School

This diploma thesis is devoted to the application of drama in German language teaching at Waldorf school. The content itself provides a theoretical insight into the basic concepts and principles of drama education and foreign language teaching at primary school. For the sake of clarity and understanding, these basic levels related to the subject are more elaborated in the introductory chapters. The theoretical part also includes chapters related to Waldorf pedagogy and its basic principles. In the practical part, one of the main objectives was to verify whether methods of dramatic education in German language teaching could support the pupil's ability to express themselves, with an emphasis on the verbal component. The work also includes description and reflection of three lessons, the aim of which was to find out whether the selected methods of drama in foreign language teaching have an impact on pupils' ability to communicate effectively and on the overall outcome of the learning process. At the end of the thesis are described findings, which confirm the benefits of including elements of drama education in foreign language teaching, and also where their influence manifested most.
