Young people come to Germany for different reasons. But they all have the same initial task at school: learning German. And more and more pupils have to master this, as almost 14 percent of all people aged 5-20 are currently immigrants themselves.
Language learning usually begins in special classes where newly immigrated pupils are prepared for inclusion in mainstream lessons. However, there are hardly any specifications or guidelines for these classes.
And so the question arises in practice: how much and what kind of language(s) teaching do newly immigrated pupils need in order to have a fair chance of an appropriate education?
Professor Dr. Nicole Marx from the University of Cologne will give an insight into her research findings at "Wissenschaft im Rathaus".
