DaZ in teacher training (PRONET²)
The content on this page was translated automatically.
Sensitizing teachers to the linguistic requirements and difficulties of children and young people with a migration background or from families with low cultural capital is necessary in order to change the direction of teacher training and develop pedagogical concepts that are "suitable for inclusion". In this way, the project aims to contribute to the testing and implementation of inclusive didactics in the area of raising awareness of the unequal linguistic abilities of pupils and thus enable the conception and implementation of pupil-centered and differentiated teaching.
In the first funding phase ("DaZ in der Lehrer/innenausbildung" PRONET 2015-2018), which has already been completed, a DaZ basic module of 4 SWS was developed, tested and evaluated, which prepares prospective teachers for a qualified approach to linguistic heterogeneity. Information about the first funding phase of the overall PRONET project can be found here.
In the second funding phase ("DaZ und fachintegrierte Sprachbildung" PRONET2 2019-2023), a blended learning offer for prospective and current teachers will be developed based on the basic module (4 SWS) that has already been developed. The new learning environment supplements and expands the content of the previous face-to-face courses, particularly in the areas of 'language-sensitive teaching' and 'language level diagnosis'. In collaboration with partners from the field of empirical educational research and selected subject didactics, the aim is to train and strengthen diagnostic skills and the ability to develop language didactic materials. In this way, teachers are to be sensitized to the linguistic requirements of children and young people with a migration background and enabled to plan and implement language-sensitive subject lessons.

The project "German as a second language (DaZ) in teacher training" is being carried out as part of the nationwide initiative "Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung" of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. It is part of a joint concept of the Centre for Teacher Education (ZLB) and the Centre for Empirical Teaching/Learning Research (ZELL) at the University of Kassel and aims at "Professionalization through Networking" (PRONET).
