Einstellungsänderungen zur Sprache im Fachunterricht von Lehramtsstudierenden der beruflichen Bildung

Abstract

Language is essential for (subject) learning. Positive attitudes of teachers are assumed to be influential factors for language promotion, e. g. with regard to responsibility, language sensitivity and the appreciation of multilingualism. We investigate to what extent an educational science seminar in vocational education and training brings about changes in attitudes in this respect. The collection of data via questionnaires (Fischer et al. 2018) in a pre-post design took place in teacher training courses in vocational education. The results show that the intervention has prepared or strengthened an awareness of the link between language and subject, however the responsibility for language promotion and attitudes towards multilingualism have not changed significantly.
