Prof. Dr. Magdalena Michalak (Nuremberg) pleaded in her lecture "'Too many high-sounding words are used that distract from the meaning of the text. Between language and subject didactics" for stronger, interdisciplinary cooperation between subject and language didactics. A central question in this context is how subject teachers who are not studying a language subject can be sensitized to language.

Prof. Dr. Argyro Panagiotopoulou (Cologne) focused on the topic of multilingualism as a resource in the school context in her presentation "Language education and inclusion: design and results of an international comparative study at German schools abroad on teachers' views of multilingualism in the classroom".
