Student projects

Selected student projects are presented here. On the one hand, these are materials and instruments developed by our DaFZ students in the context of the application module AM2 ("Research Project") or results obtained in their research. On the other hand, they are products of student work developed within the framework of other modules, but especially in connection with the in-depth module VM4 ("Current Trends and Developments").
Service Learning in the subject German as a Foreign and Second Language (DaFZ) in winter semester 21/22: Development of knowledge- and language-sensitive, digital exploration tours to Kassel's places of remembrance in cooperation with the Stadtmuseum Kassel.
But how do you organize "field trips" with DaFZ students in such a way that they are optimally prepared for the communicative challenges on site?
FörLeSch, short for "Förderung: Lesen und Schreiben" ("Support: Reading and Writing" ) is an initiative launched by students of the Master's program German as a Foreign and Second Language at the University of Kassel with the aim of bringing together refugees with students of the DaFZ department. In addition to homework supervision, the DaFZ students support the young people in the area of oral and literary skills(literacy). FörLeSch is supported by Jun.-Prof. Dr. Christine Czinglar.
Due to the current refugee situation, the proportion of newly immigrated students has risen sharply. Due to their heterogeneous backgrounds, so-called lateral entrants place high demands on teachers.
In the project seminar, which was conducted in the summer semester 2016 under the direction of Jun.-Prof. Christine Czinglar and financially supported by the Central Teaching Support (Teaching Innovation), students investigated DaZ teaching with lateral entrants in the context of field trips to two best practice schools in Schleswig and Munich and two schools in Kassel.
The project "A voice that everyone understands...", conducted by four Kassel students of the Master's program German as a Foreign and Second Language Linda Alphei, Astrid Lange, Kelly de Oliveira and Vimansani Pathirana, focused on action-oriented German language learning in cultural places in Kassel with unaccompanied refugee minors (UMF).
The aim of the project was to test the use of the "ich-will-deutsch-lernen" portal in order to integrate it into the classroom in the future. Another goal was to make suggestions for improvement to the providers and authors of the portal, if necessary, in order to make the e-learning portal even more usable.
