Abstract

Grammar and DaF: grammar and Teaching German or links between linguistics and German Teaching

In foreign language teaching as in other subjects, several disciplines can be used (sometimes unconsciously), especially those called "neighboring disciplines" of Linguistics: here we are talking about psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, contrastive linguistics, linguistic geography or dialectology, narrative and textual linguistics, language learning strategies and techniques and language didactics. The aim in this paper is to show the relationships or existing relationships between these different disciplines in a grammatical context or in other words: to show the existing relationships between Linguistics and foreign language teaching through grammar while evoking some links with learning strategies and techniques. Didactics for young people and for younger learners should not be too different from that for adults, when it comes to the system. The main goal of any mediation of system is to make possible correct analogies and to avoid false analogies. This is possible for a first time with a reduced grammar and a minimum vocabulary (lexicon).
