”Auf Deutsch bitte” : Högstadielärare om undervisningsmetoder som främjar muntlig kommunikativ förmåga inom tyska som andraspråk

Title: How do you get a pupil from Year 7-9 in secondary school to communicate in German?  Five high school teachers views on how to develop pupils oral communicative skill within the German language   The aim of this essay is to explore Swedish secondary school teachers, from Year 7-9 in the German language, opinions regarding which work models and verbal strategies that are used and taught in order to foster the pupils oral communicative skill in the classroom. To achieve this aim, semi-structured interviews with five teachers are used. The results show that the teachers find that they encourage the pupils to speak German through creating possibilities for them to practise their oral language skills. The teachers also emphasize that they believe that alternating assignments in groups or pairs, where the students get the chance to be creative, activates the pupils to speak German the most. They also express an awareness for the fact that open or information questions encourage the pupils to use their creativity and speak more German. It was also clear that there are many different communication strategies, which they consider as helpful for the pupils in their attempt to communicate in German. Examples of these strategies are paraphrasing, asking for help, using Swedish words with a German pronunciation. These communicative strategies are, according to the teachers, mediated through the teachers and practise.
