Sprachvariation@Schule (Language variation@school)

Platform

The platform Sprachvariation@Schule addresses teachers in the whole German-speaking area. The aim is to make modern scientific results accessible to schools and thus at the same time to push the thematization of "languages in language", which is regulated in the state guidelines but only insufficiently implemented. We understand language variation in a broad sense and welcome contributions on different topics:

  • Language history
  • Dialectology
  • Language in the media
  • Youth language
  • Specialized languages
  • Language contact and much more.

As a core area of the platform, a repository for teaching materials is being prepared, which can be accessed free of charge. An editorial board is currently being compiled for the scientific and didactic quality control of the materials.

Furthermore, a keyworded bibliography is being created, which will attribute textbook units with regard to topics, grade levels and other criteria and make them filterable via an interface. Background information on variational linguistics will also be made available.

The platform is currently being developed and is expected to be released in May 2023.
