Sprachliche Förderung in der dualen Ausbildung

Abstract

This article investigates forms of language learning in the German system of vocational training. We examine the models of language learning as well as possible target groups that are relevant in this specific setting, and develop a system for categorizing various measures of language learning in the context of vocational training. We subsequently describe several practical examples of language learning measures in the vocational schools, the apprenticing companies and third party training programs, and classify them within our system of language learning models. At the end, we take an expanded look at the mentoring project „WEICHENSTELLUNG fur Ausbildung und Beruf “ as an example of a University-based language learning approach within the larger field of vocational training.
