Dieses Buch setzt sich mit Prüfungen im Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache auseinander. Es zeigt, warum viele Lernende trotz guter Sprachkenntnisse scheitern und welche Rolle Prüfungslogik, Vorbereitung und Fehlannahmen dabei spielen.

Es richtet sich an erwachsene Deutschlernende und Lehrkräfte, die jenseits von Durchhalteparolen verstehen wollen, warum Lernen trotz Einsatz, Fleiß und guter Absichten häufig nicht zum gewünschten Ergebnis führt. Der Autor analysiert typische Bruchstellen im... more...

This collection of scattered thoughts and observations has little order or continuity; it was begun to give pleasure to a good mother who thinks for herself. My first idea was to write a tract a few pages long, but I was carried away by my subject, and before I knew what I was doing my tract had become a kind of book, too large indeed for the matter contained in it, but too small for the subject of... more...

This is more noticeable in the West than in the East, but it is marked everywhere; and the foreign traveler who once detected a race deterioration, which he attributed to a dry and stimulating atmosphere and to a feverish anxiety, which was evident in all classes, for a rapid change... more...

Dieses Buch ist kein Sprachlehrbuch. Es erklärt keine Grammatik, gibt keine Lernpläne und verspricht keinen Erfolg. Es geht um das, was im Unterricht sichtbar wird, wenn Sprache in den Hintergrund tritt: Entscheidungen, Zweifel, Pausen, Umwege. Menschen, die lernen, aber eigentlich etwas anderes klären müssen. Der Autor beschreibt Beobachtungen aus jahrelangem Online-Unterricht mit Lernenden aus... more...
