📋 Tender Overview
For students, language is an essential prerequisite for their learning success. Therefore, the concept of consistent language education is now becoming the standard in all schools. With this, all schools are given the task of implementing language education and support across disciplines and in a coordinated manner across the entire educational biography. Language is the key to the world and an essential prerequisite for the learning success of all students. However, many children have extensive language support and language training needs. This is why it is now becoming standard in all schools. In the future, all teachers will be required to think linguistic and technical learning together and to integrate it across subjects - consistent language education represents a paradigm shift. The Minister of Education said: There is scientific consensus that too many students have too small a vocabulary and cannot deal with technical language. But no matter how good you are at arithmetic, if you dont understand the word problem, you cant solve it. Language is the foundation for everything else and must therefore be at the beginning of all learning. Thats why were going for it Consistent, interdisciplinary language education at all types of schools. Language education is part of all teaching subjects. The DSB schools receive support in the development and implementation of their specific language education concepts. This supports the teachers in the systematic coordination of language education and language support as well as in the interlinking of additional support offers with regular lessons. Example: the reading tape reading strategies are used consistently in all subjects. The diverse measures that already exist in schools will be combined and regular lessons will be expanded to include the perspective of language education. This means that in chemistry or music, in the future, the focus must also be on language training in addition to technical learning. This is what consistent language education looks like in concrete terms: Linguistic and technical learning are more closely interlinked. Language learning is being bundled even more closely in all teaching situations and support offers. Transitions and connections between the language support measures and regular lessons are optimized. All teachers and all educational staff are involved in language learning. Education Minister Theresa Schopper added: Consistent language education is a paradigm shift, but we are not starting from scratch. Proven processes will be continued, many schools are already very well positioned and can rely on sophisticated language education and language support offers. Language support for immigrant students The new language education and language support regulation also further develops and specifies the regulations of the previous administrative regulation Principles for teaching children and young people with a non-German language of origin and insufficient knowledge of German in general education and vocational schools (2017). The revised regulations contain important pedagogical and legal developments to support newly immigrated students, such as conceptual clarifications, a systematization of language support offers and a specification of support options in lessons and in performance assessments. Language support program SprachFit 50 primary schools have already started introducing the new one this school year. 200 more primary schools will follow via SprachFit. Secondary schools will also gradually introduce the DSB from the next school year.
