This work exemplifies how literature can be used for teaching German even in CEFR levels A2 and B1. Didactical texts about the use of literature in language teaching are used to show the advantages of including literature in language teaching. This work highlights two of these advantages: literature provides the students with real vocabulary – in contrast to the artificial constructions in language teaching books - and supports their understanding of another culture. Further this work will show how the use of literature is supported by the Swedish curriculum. Finally, based on the research and recommendations of different didactics, a teaching model for the use of The Threpenny Opera is elaborated.

This study analyzes the effectiveness of adaptive methods for learning words in a foreign language with the help of the adaptive learning app Memrise. First, a brief overview over what has been said about word acquisition, adaptive learning, and motivation to learn is given. Secondly, the method of this study is explained, describing both a control group, working with the app, and an experimental group, working with an ordinary wordlist. Results show that students using the app learn words better over a short period of time and also remember the words longer than students who do not work with the app. It can also be said that the motivation to work with the learning app is only effected positively when working in small groups that like to compete for points given in the app itself. The essay concludes that adaptive learning, especially with an app, can offer an effective way of teaching vocabulary in terms of gaining a bigger vocabulary in a short time.
