A linguistic-didactic text database for Spanish teachers
The object of this interdisciplinary research project is the linguistic and didactic investigation of the complexity and comprehensibility of relevant text types for the teaching of Spanish. This objective is based on the understanding of Romance Studies as textual science, which among other things pursues the goal of increasing the textual competence of students and to enable them - quite in the philological tradition - in this way to be able to teach strategies of text comprehension in schools as (future) teachers. By textual competence we mean the ability to comprehend continuous and discontinuous texts of varying degrees of difficulty, to engage with the alterity of texts in order to recognize them as cultural and linguistic objects with communicative goals, to grasp the knowledge conveyed in them, to integrate them into one's own knowledge horizons, and to use the knowledge acquired for the production of one's own texts. Textual competence further includes reflection on the individual process of reception and production (cf. KMK 2014: 20). The project of Spanish linguistics and didactics aims at building up a text and task database based on complexity profiles of Spanish-language texts, which allows making well-founded selection decisions for teaching and learning. Empirically generated complexity profiles will be used to develop approaches for optimizing textual competence as a basic cultural skill.
