Abstract

In 2018/2019, the Government of Austria instituted a new language support model to Austrian schools that included segregated language support measures for non-fluent German-speaking students. The central research aim of the paper is to investigate how the implementation of this new language support model compares to the policy requirement by examining different models of implementation. In the framework of the initial phases of the project ‘A multi-perspective study on German language support’, 12 interviews with German language support teachers and school principals were conducted. Following a prototypical case study analysis, four models of implementation were identified: (1) Segregationmodel, (2) Mixed segregated and integrated model, (3) Individualized language support, and (4) Inclusive support model. Given that thisis the first study in Austria to show the concrete implementation models of German language support in schoolsFindings highlight important implications for school principals and educational policy makers.

从政策到实践:奥地利学校如何实施德语支持政策

2018/2019年，奥地利政府为奥地利学校制定了一项新的语言支持模式，其中包括为德语不流利的学生提供隔离的语言支持措施。本文的中心研究目的是通过考察不同的实现模型来研究这种新的语言支持模型的实现与政策要求的比较。在“德语支持的多视角研究”项目的初始阶段，对德语支持教师和学校校长进行了12次访谈。通过对典型案例的分析，确定了四种实现模型:(1)隔离模型，(2)混合隔离与集成模型，(3)个性化语言支持模型，(4)包容性支持模型。鉴于这是奥地利第一个展示学校德语支持具体实施模式的研究，研究结果强调了学校校长和教育政策制定者的重要意义。

期刊介绍： The journal Current Issues in Language Planning provides major summative and thematic review studies spanning and focusing the disparate language policy and language planning literature related to: 1) polities and language planning and 2) issues in language planning. The journal publishes four issues per year, two on each subject area. The polity issues describe language policy and planning in various countries/regions/areas around the world, while the issues numbers are thematically based. The Current Issues in Language Planning does not normally accept individual studies falling outside this polity and thematic approach. Polity studies and thematic issues" papers in this journal may be self-nominated or invited contributions from acknowledged experts in the field.
