A linguistic-didactic text database for Spanish teachers
The subject of this interdisciplinary research project is the linguistic and didactic exploration of the complexity and comprehensibility of relevant text types for Spanish lessons. This objective is based on the understanding of Romance studies as textual science, which aims, among other things, to increase the textual competence of students and thus enable them - in the philological tradition - to teach text comprehension strategies in schools as (future) teachers. By textual competence, we mean the ability to understand 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 they convey, to integrate it into one's own knowledge horizons and to use the knowledge acquired to produce one's own texts. Text competence also includes reflecting on the individual reception and production process (cf. KMK 2014: 20). The aim of the Spanish linguistics and didactics project is to build up a text and task database based on complexity profiles of Spanish-language texts, which will make it possible to make well-founded selection decisions for teaching and learning. Empirical complexity profiles will be used to develop approaches for optimizing text competence as a basic cultural competence.
