English and beyond - Grundschule

English teaching can do more than English! It can do justice to multilingual reality, accept it as a challenge and use it as an opportunity! English and beyond provides targeted insights into the didactics of multilingualism and makes well-founded, directly applicable practical suggestions for promoting multilingualism in primary school English lessons. The aim is a communicative, learner-oriented English lesson that makes room for linguistic diversity and connects it with English. The lesson plans contained in the first part of the volume offer practical approaches and a variety of methodological procedures and materials that enable the differentiated promotion of multilingual competence in English lessons. In addition to a brief introduction to the topic and lesson plans that can be used immediately, each article contains appropriate copy templates and additional materials. The materials, copy templates and impulses in the second part of the volume extend classic topics of early English lessons, so that - also in addition to a textbook - the bridge to other languages can be built and English still remains at the centre of the lesson. This volume is a must-have for all those who want to see multilingualism not only as a challenge, but above all as a resource and an opportunity. It is complemented by a wide range of additional materials that can be downloaded directly.
