Abstract

Promoting intercultural competence through the integration of cultural studies in Deutsch Classes

As part of the German lessons as foreign Language, cultural studies are given particular importance in German lessons. In practice, there is a need for teachers to think about how best to address and implement culturtal studies. With the aim of contributing to the optimization of regional studies lessons, numerous authentic materials are didactic. The production of cultural studies materials plays a special role in this project. Since texts and language structure) contain regional information, every German lesson as a foreign Language is considered to be culturally-oriented. This article examines how association, observation, experience and comparison in Deutsch classes can raise awareness and, if necessary, relativize existing positive and negative attitudes in order to optimize the competence of students in the field of cultural studies.
